Our philosophy

At Wild Rose Equestrian, dressage isn’t just an Olympic sport, it is the art of training horses to develop their own natural abilities through a focused gymnastic program to achieve harmony and balance with the rider. Handling on the ground, proper grooming, saddle fit, improving and correcting the hoof quality, body work, trauma release and true forward riding is how our training philosophy can apply to many disciplines as it is about the whole horses’ well being, not just following a score sheet. A happy horse makes a happy partner and athlete, there is no doubt about that. Understanding horse psychology and having empathy for each horses’ individual personalities and experiences is what makes the horses at WRE happy, healthy, and top performing partners for their riders, in and out of the competition ring.
