Transform Your Dressage Journey Through Consent-Based, Compassionate Training

For the seasoned, compassionate dressage rider who values harmony and seeks a deeper connection with their horse.

You and your horse can thrive together—no compromises, just connection.

Whether you own:

a young horse in need of starting under saddle

a treasured horse in need of more support

a performance horse you want to compete compassionately and sustainably

You and your horse can thrive together

—no compromises, just connection.

True mastery in dressage comes from a partnership rooted in compassion, trust and understanding.

If You've Ever Felt:

  • You're "not good enough" -skilled enough, knowledgeable enough, experienced enough, supported enough

  • You're frustrated at the lack of progress, making you doubt if you’ll ever reach your goals

  • Disillusioned with the competitive dressage world that prioritizes results over the horse’s well-being

  • The fear of failing or getting hurt, making every ride a source of anxiety instead of joy

  • Unsure or confused why your horse is not responding to seemingly correct cues

  • Like your horse isn't happy or thriving, and you're worried it may be your fault

You are enough, and you're not alone!

So many riders have experienced these feelings, but they don’t have to define your dressage journey.

TESTIMONIALS

Elaine’s training of my horse and coaching of me are building the foundation for a long, enjoyable partnership.

Ruth Shaw

Elaine is a consummate professional. She is dedicated to classic dressage and helping you learn how to train your horse in the classical method. I have learned so much about riding and horse management from her. If you goal is a quick fix with a gimmick, go somewhere else. If you are serious about learning classical dressage this is the trainer for you!

Frances Whittington

Elaine is totally tapped into her horses’ needs and personalities, and she is caring, warm, and wise... everything I would want in a dressage instructor and trainer! Highly recommend!
