You cannot learn to feel on a horse that does not know.

You cannot teach a horse what you do not know.

Lise LeBlanc school of Classical Dressage/Working Equitation has commenced the first cohort of program  Spring 2026 and is now taking applications for the Fall of 2026. Program will include learning proper connection using work in hand, lunge and ridden techniques while also opportunities to learn the skills obstacles and tests of Working Equitation.  We start at the beginning with Level 1 program - foundations, because the foundations are the most important. That is where we build from to the highest level. When things are not going well - the foundation is always where we look. The school program involves studying theory, note taking, working in hand, on the lunge, and riding under saddle. The program is developed to work in weekly progression toward proper classical understanding, and techniques.  Proper foundation and good connection ensures good posture for horses and riders, promoting relaxation and proper movement and development.  Lise has studied the classical masters with particular interest in the late Portuguese Master, Nuno Oliveira. Today, Lise carries on the Portuguese traditional method and techniques of Classical riding. Students in the riding school will develop 'feel'  so the horse is in balance and relaxed. Lessons are weekly: Enrolment is  purchased by yearly membership. Three school masters are ready to teach students from beginner to advanced! Feel the difference true connection makes! Then, learn to teach your own horse. There are very limited spots in the program, so interested equestrians need to apply in order to reserve a spot in the 2027 cohort.
