Alexandra Linscheid O’Toole
Owner/Trainer
In 2008, “Alex” and her husband Ryan purchased their beautiful farm in Monroe, Georgia where Wisteria Farm resides permanently. Alex is the former University of Georgia’s Assistant Coach for the Hunt Seat NCAA Equestrian team where she was the Fences Coach and head of recruiting for the English discipline. During her time as the Fences coach at UGA, the team won two SEC Championship titles as well as two Reserve Championship Titles at NCEA National Finals. Alex also holds her USEF “R” Judging Card in Hunters and Equitation as well as a “r” in the Jumper division.
Alex began riding at age four. Growing up in Massachusetts, she started showing at age 7 and competing on the “A” Circuit by age 11. She focused mainly on Equitation throughout her years as a junior rider, attending Medal Finals and catch riding numerous horses in the Hunter and Jumper rings.
Alex attended Stoneleigh-Burnham School, a college preparatory school in western Massachusetts that prided itself as one of the most elite riding programs in the country. It was at Stoneleigh- Burnham school that Alex was able to train with multiple experts. The foundation that Stoneleigh-Burnham provided in the English riding discipline including Horsemanship, Dressage and Equitation made their IEA team a force to contend with. Alex was a member of the two-time IEA National Championship Team during her time at Stoneleigh-Burnham and was 3rd Place in the Open Individual Championship.
Alex was recruited by the University of Georgia and became one of their first NCAA scholarship Equestrian athletes in the country. She contributed to winning the SEC Championships and National Championships during her time on the team. Alex majored in Sports Business with a minor in Equine Studies while at UGA. In 2005, Alex became a professional and opened Wisteria Farm.
Alex has trained and shown numerous horses to success in the Hunter and Jumper rings from start to finish. She enjoys working with green horses from backing them all the way through to receiving ribbons at Nationally recognized competitions. Alex feels a sense of pride watching her clients start with a green or unbroke prospect and developing both horse and rider into a successful pair.
Alex maintains a very high standard of horse care and training here at Wisteria Farm. She believes strongly in the values of good horsemanship and she makes sure that those values are consistent amongst all who are employed by the Farm. She welcomes all levels of riders, beginners through “A” Circuit riders, and has a lesson program here that can suit all levels of interest.
