At the most basic level, dressage is the systematic training of the horse and rider. At Silvermine we believe that Dressage movements and exercises can be used for training all horses, regardless of breed, with the end goal of making the horse stronger, more supple, and more responsive to their rider.

Rider training focuses on developing a good seat and correct well-balanced body position. Riders learn to move with the horse’s motion and to give and time their aids correctly.

Our training programs are customized based on the abilities of both the horse and rider and individual goals established with the rider.

We like to train in different settings and formats. Lessons sometimes take place in the trails and fields or in groups.
