If you are new to the dressage saddle or still developing a balanced effective seat, this program offers a systematic method to help you improve your seat as well as the effectiveness of your aids on the lunge-line.

Here, you develop the balance, rhythm, and feel within the movement of the horse. Once you progress through the process of developing balance, the head instructor, staff and schoolmasters help you refine and reinforce your understanding.

This valuable time on the lunge-line allows you to develop the ability to follow the movement of the horse without inhibiting it.

Riders of all levels are provided the unique opportunity to experience and embrace the ageless goals of lightness and harmony with their equine partner. This progressive program of instruction is oriented toward developing your mental and physical grasp of classical dressage.

Itinerary
THE THREE-DAY AND FIVE-DAY PROGRAMS
Instruction is offered in private lessons. An initial assessment of each student is made upon arrival. Then the student and instructors define goals and set up an individual program for the week. Students will have two lessons per day, as well as an opportunity to observe other lessons and watch the head instructor train horses and fine tune school masters.

The length of each lesson varies, depending on the individual or the group. Private lunge and riding lessons are generally 1 hour.

THIS ITINERARY IS FLEXIBLE. CHANGES MAY OCCUR DUE TO WEATHER OR OTHER UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES.
