Born and raised in Switzerland she grew up riding show jumpers as well as specializing in Natural Horsemanship from a very young age. After discovering her passion for dressage Marion became the head trainer at a prestigious sport horse breeding station in Europe. After several years as a head trainer she ran her own training business, developing horses of all ages and stages, teaching clinics, and doing demonstrations all over Europe.
