Julia Bastian, M.S. Email & Phone Number

A Luxembourg native now living in the US, I've come to realize just how unique and valuable my experiences are. For context, I have dual citizenship with part of the family in the US and the other part in Europe. I speak English, French, German and Luxembourgish fluently, am probably a little rusty with the latter 3. My love for the American Quarter Horse started from the time I was a toddler and has led the path ever since. Once I graduated from the International School of Luxembourg, I chose to continue my studies at the University of Findlay where I was able to keep riding and learn more about the western all-around and develop my love for the western pleasure. This resulted in me moving to South Carolina to continue learning from two of the best western pleasure trainers. I soon realized that I wasn’t quite done furthering my higher education (which in reality, we never are) and I chose to pursue a graduate degree at West Texas A&M. This is where I currently serve as a graduate student and equestrian coach to the IHSA team and am expected to graduate in May 2024.When I'm not around horses, you can find me at concerts, teaching my dog agility or travelling. Some of my favorite destinations have been Alaska, Hawaii, Fuerteventura and Crete!
