Our Approach
Our Training Philosophy
Our training philosophy for horse and rider is based on Matt’s system of horsemanship that integrates classical principles of dressage, the requirements of today’s competitive dressage, and Natural Horsemanship techniques. Emphasizing the values of respect, control, and fairness in the relationship between horse and rider, our focus is to teach people how to train horses.
Our Story
Our Facility
Our training facility is located in Saint Cloud, Florida, 20 minutes southeast of the Orlando Airport. The 10 acre facility features 20 stalls, wash and grooming racks, dry and grass turnouts, a standard size dressage arena with lights, and a set of training pillars.
Horses are fed and stalls cleaned three times per day. Board includes blanketing, fly prevention care, turnout, handling for vet or farrier care, and medication administration. We are available for our horses at all times as our trainers and working students live on site.
