Riding School

Mentored by Nuno Cavaco

Opening March 2026

Lise LeBlanc school of Classical Dressage/Working Equitation is commencing in March 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.  Many riders today are unclear about  connection resulting in tension, resistance. Without proper foundation and good connection it is impossible to progress for the horse and the rider.  Lise has studied the classical masters as well as the late Portuguese Master, Nuno Oliveira. Today, Lise carries on the Portuguese traditional method and techniques of horsemanship and riding. Students in the riding school with learn  the importance of keeping a horse engaged. Students will develop 'feel'  so the horse is relaxed. The program is designed to help riders learn to feel and use techniques both from the ground and riding so that a proper connection can be experienced. Lessons are weekly and sold in packages of 10. 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 limited spots in the program so interested equestrians need to reserve their spot.
