Diane Rogers
Head Trainer & Program Director. Joined 2008. 

Diane holds a degree in Equine Science and Management from Delaware Valley University. She started riding at Meadowbrook at age 10, and rode and worked here as a camp counselor and groom through high school. After college, she spent several years training with other professionals. Diane says she returned to Meadowbrook because, “I wanted to help create the wonderful atmosphere that I admired so much from my childhood. My childhood memories of Meadowbrook are more than horses – they include long term friendships, mentors and an extended family.” Most of the time you can catch Diane teaching in the ring or at horse shows, where she trains Meadowbrook riders of all levels.
