Trained at Strömsholm, the Swedish National Riding School, Lars has also worked with such renown riders and trainers such as Bo Tibblin, Hans-Helge Rasmussen and Lars Parmler. As a part of his international education, Lars spent 6 months training in Germany with Liselotte Linsenhoff.
In the early 1980’s, Lars was asked by the late Lillian Van Dahn, of Van Dahn Dressage, to come to California and work at as her assistant. After a successful 3 1/2 years stay with Van Dahn, Lars ventured out on his own to form Holmberg Dressage. Since the initial formation of Holmberg Dressage in 1990, 1992 turned into a year of expansion as Ulf Wadeborn joined Lars to form (HWD).

In 2007 Lars was honored with being named a part of the USA Team to compete in Verden, Germany with his young approved Danish Stallion Mix Max. There the pair placed 11th in the Mini Final.
Lars is presently competing with a new horse named Mambo, owned by Lars and a sponsor; Jennifer Gossett from Oaklahoma.
To date, Lars has trained and shown more than 30 horses with an impressive 119 shows. Lars is available for clinics at your location.

Training & Services
Holmberg & Wadeborn Dressage was started in 1990 by Lars Holmberg, a native Swede and naturalized USA Citizen. He had a vision of creating a European like training barn, using the same classical training techniques that he learned in Germany and Sweden. HWD is that barn.
Each student is assisted with the care of their horse, but the majority of the work, including self grooming, must be done by the student. In this way, you get to know your horse and develop a communication and connection that transfers over into the riding.
Our Services are as such:
*Middle Ranch Board, Feed, Shoes, Vet care are all to be covered by owner and are additional
