EM Equine LLC

About Elizabeth

I’m Elizabeth Micochero, owner, head coach, and lead trainer of EM Equine LLC. I’ve spent over 20 years in the equestrian industry, and my experience reaches well beyond one discipline: hunters and jumpers, dressage, team penning, trail riding, barrel racing, basic roping, fox hunting, eventing, vaulting, and more.

My foundation began before I graduated high school, apprenticing with Karyn Becerra at Iron Horse Farm in North Carolina. At Wildwynn Stables in Youngsville, Leigh Smith taught me exceptional breeding and barn management skills; the late Wynnbrook Starburst, a Section B Welsh pony stallion, stood there.

I spent more than five years in Wellington, Florida, working for Lars Petersen, Lisa Wilcox, and Jim Armstrong. I then served for more than a year as head hunter/jumper trainer at Brevard Equestrian Center near Melbourne, Florida, and for more than a year as head hunter/jumper coach at St. Simons Equestrian Center on St. Simons Island, Georgia.

Since 2019, I’ve run my own facility in Folkston. The people I’ve learned from—including Clinton Anderson, Buck Brannaman, Tony and Jenny Vaught, and many others up and down the East Coast—have shaped the rider, trainer, coach, and horsewoman I am today. I bring that breadth of experience to every horse and rider at EM Equine.
