Discover CH Dressage Clinics

---

What brings me the most joy, second only to riding, is teaching and sharing my knowledge and love of horses in a fun yet progressive learning environment, particularly through Cavaletti Clinics and CH Dressage Clinics. I bring a positive approach to helping horses and riders develop the confidence and skills needed to progress with focus and harmony through effective Dressage instruction. Each session is structured so you leave with clear takeaways and practical homework that will enhance your goals.

Participants often experience:

Horses who become better in the contact

A stronger, more supple topline that supports balance and self-carriage

Clearer communication and quieter aids

Riders who feel effective, confident, and connected

Partnerships that feel easy, enjoyable, and harmonious again

CHD Cavaletti Clinics are specifically designed to help horses enhance their rhythm, balance, and coordination through thoughtful pole work exercises. By utilizing a variety of pole patterns, horses learn to engage their core, develop suppleness, and strengthen their topline, while riders refine the timing and effectiveness of their aids, making these sessions an integral part of CH Dressage Clinics. 

Cavaletti work serves as a valuable cross-training tool for horses across all levels and disciplines. My proprioception-focused exercises, featured in our Dressage instruction, enhance overall performance by improving balance and elasticity, leading to more expressive and confident movement. Whether your aim is building strength, improving rhythm, or enhancing partnership, CHD Cavaletti Clinics provide a fun, safe, and effective approach to advancing training while ensuring lessons remain engaging and progressive.

CH Dressage Clinics are built on a foundation of continual learning and a proven training methodology. I have dedicated myself to expanding my own education by consistently training with top clinicians, and this commitment directly translates to my teaching. The system I’ve developed, which is also applicable in Cavaletti Clinics, provides tools and techniques designed to benefit every horse and rider, regardless of level, breed, or background. 

My approach to dressage instruction is positive, empathetic, and grounded in correct biomechanics, giving horses clarity in their work and riders confidence in their feel. Drawing on my trained eye and experience across multiple disciplines, I provide instruction with precision and insight, identifying target areas within the training scale to guide progress and development. 

Lessons are tailored to help every partnership strengthen and progress confidently through the levels, ensuring both horse and rider thrive in a positive, results-driven learning environment.

CHD Pony Club instruction combines fun, education, and progressive skill-building for riders of all ages and levels. Drawing on my own Pony Club experience as a USPC “A” graduate, I provide lessons that focus on correct basics, safety, horsemanship, and confidence. Riders learn to develop a balanced position, clarity of aids, and strong partnerships with their horses, while gaining a deeper understanding of USPC riding principles that will support them through the certification program and beyond. 

In addition to regular lessons, we also offer Cavaletti Clinics and CH Dressage Clinics that enhance riders' skills in a structured environment. Lessons are tailored to each rider’s goals, whether preparing for rallies, certifications, or personal growth, and are delivered in a supportive atmosphere. 

I strongly believe in the value of Pony Club for youth development, teaching responsibility, leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship. At CH DRESSAGE, we are committed to giving back to the Pony Club community by mentoring young riders, supporting their growth, and helping cultivate the next generation of confident, knowledgeable horsemen and women who will carry forward the values of the sport through effective Dressage instruction.

From Intro level to FEI, my teaching emphasizes clarity, correct fundamentals, and developing connection and throughness between horse and rider. Through my Dressage instruction, riders acquire actionable skills, practical exercises, and a deeper understanding of their horse’s strengths and weaknesses.
