Horse Training Philosophy

We apply classical dressage training technique to unify the classical training principles with modern day competitive dressage.

“Classical” dressage training is the process of strengthening and developing the horse’s natural abilities. This training process builds a solid foundation for all riding disciplines.

Correct training, proper rewards, and the appropriate application of the training scale theories are the fundamental elements of my successful dressage training program.
