Training Programs

Dressage Training through FEI

Dressage builds more balanced and athletic horses. It is an important foundation no matter what you have planned for your horse's future. Whether you want to develop and maintain an upper level athlete, show at the lower levels, or simply want to improve communication with your horse, Bethany will put together a training program to help you achieve your goals.

Cross-Training

Why cross-training? Variety builds healthier and happier athletes by reducing repetitive strain injuries and encouraging mental and physical balance. Through jumping, fitness rides on Hawkwood's network of conditioning trails and hills, and schooling cross country, Bethany's program provides a stimulating learning environment. When training over fences, Bethany's focus is on developing confident horses and riders. When brought along correctly, every horse and rider can enjoy galloping and jumping, both in and out of the arena. Bethany instills in her jumping students a strong respect for correct basics, with the knowledge that it's those basics that keep riders and horses safe and having fun.

Horsemanship and Groundwork

Horsemanship is an important component of holistic training and not only keeps us safe on the ground while handling our horses, but also builds an important relationship with the horse that carries over directly to work under saddle. Bethany offers intensive groundwork training programs for those in need of a fresh start as well as “reminder” lessons for those horses and humans in need of a quick tune-up on their groundwork skills.
