The Support Team

Elisabeth and Olivier are very lucky in that they already have a huge amount of support from clients, friends and family. In this section, we'd like to make it possible to learn a little bit more about the people who help Elisabeth and Olivier every day to make sure they are performing their best.

Madeleine Austin is responsible for bringing both Elisabeth and Olivier into this world. She has trained Elisabeth from the beginning, all the way through Grand Prix. She has offered an unbelievable amount of financial and emotional support, as well as helped Elisabeth to make important decisions along the way. Without her support, nothing would be possible. Thank you.

Dr. Philip Van Harreveld has been Olivier's primary veterinarian since he was a youngster. Dr. Van Harreveld has helped to make sure Olivier is in top condition for training and competing. He has also been a huge fan of Olivier for as long as he's known him. You can learn more about Dr. Phil and his practice at Vermont Large Animal Clinic.

Lee Beckwith is responsible for Olivier's farrier work and has decades of experience shoeing top show horses.  Lee has been working with Olivier on and off since he was a foal, and we have now designated him Olivier's full-time farrier.  We are hoping to be able to fly Lee to Florida with us this winter so that he can continue to do his incredible work for us while we're down south.  If you would like more information on Lee, please  E-mail Elisabeth.

Sal Salvetti has been responsible for Olivier's massage work as often as we can get him for the last few years. Sal is often busy traveling with the United States Equestrian Team, or working with clients all over the United States, but when we have the chance, Olivier loves to see him.
