Team Punchestown
Each of our trainers brings an essential talent to the table, and each has a passion for helping horses & riders reveal their very best selves.
Sarah Meier
Owner & Head Trainer
An active competitor herself, Sarah brings along young equine talent, refines our upper level horses, and develops more advanced skills in our riders. She has decades of experience & has been graduating horses & riders from Punchestown Stables since 2002. She shows through the Grand Prix classes while also developing a string of promising youngsters. She’s committed to continuing her own education and works regularly with Aaron Vale in Ocala as well as the estimable talent that frequently comes through Lexington, KY.
Alexandria Nelson

Alex has been an integral piece of Team Punchestown since 2011. In addition to riding & training, she manages a vibrant group of up & coming riders finding their way into the sport. She is a patient & enthusiastic coach for our riders, a meticulous manager for our horses, and a tireless multitasker for all things Punchestown.
We’re proud to call 30 beautiful acres in the Horse Capital of the World our home.
