TRAINERS
Stephanie Tropia, founder of Clear Round Show Jumpers has spent her life riding beginning at the age of six in her native Germany. A natural competitor, Stephanie has successfully shown in Europe and the United States—with showjumping wins in the Grand Prix ring, Prix St. George wins in dressage and top Ribbons in Hunter Divisions and Derbies.
Combining her success in the show ring with her training credentials and contacts in Europe, she founded Clear Round Show Jumpers and began importing, selling and training top Sport Horses in international and national Hunter Derbies, brought many horses into the Grand Prix Arena and sold many solid horses to Amateurs of any level. Her work ethic, honesty and love of horses have produced many great horse and rider combinations that are competing successfully today. Stephanie is only showing her few personal horses and has stopped all training and lessons. Her husband, Paolo Tropia is in charge of all the training and the day to day activities at the barn and at horse shows.
Paolo Tropia, trainer at Clear Round Show Jumpers, began his career at age 13 with Swiss International Grand Prix rider, Beat Roethlisberger and other Olympic level riders.
Over the years, Paolo has worked and trained with some of the world’s leading riders including a position with Paul Schockemoehle’s renowned horse international horse business, that breeds more than 300 horses annually and sells between 600 and 700 horses per year. Paolo has successfully competed at the Grand Prix level both nationally and internationally and enjoys working with horses and riders at all levels. Paolo is the head trainer at Clear Round Show Jumpers and teaches and trains horses and clients at home and at the show. His students make great strides.
Paolo truly enjoys bringing young horses along. He produced many top hunters and Grand Prix horses over the years.
