Nadege Soubassis

Bonjour! My name is Nadege Soubassis. My name is hard to pronounce (Na-dej) because I'm French and married to a Greek! I have trained around the world with many trainers because we moved a lot with my husband's career. We've finally settled in beautiful Catlett, Virginia with our own barn. I'm excited to meet you and help you on your dressage journey.
