A Private, Exclusive Environment.
We are a private facility dedicated to quality over quantity. We maintain a focused, quiet atmosphere for serious riders committed to foundational development. Crucially, we also offer a respectful, supportive environment for those who simply wish to enjoy the relationship and partnership with their horse.
Whether your focus is competitive excellence or peaceful connection, we are dedicated to providing a serene, safe, and positive space for both you and your equine partner.
Before visiting the property, we require all prospective clients to contact us for an initial interview.
This ensures that our program is the right fit for your goals and that we can maintain a safe, productive, and personalized environment for all our horses and clients.
“Enjoy the ride with every stride!”
Owner and coach, Janice Williams, has over 40 years of experience training in the sport of dressage. Janice has worked with great dressage mentors such as Walter Zettl and John Lassetter and continues to learn from Certified High Performance Dressage Coach Karin Davis.
Janice offers training and coaching for you and your horse at local stables in Southwestern Ontario.
Our Philosophy: Foundation First
At the heart of our program is the commitment to developing a truly versatile and capable partner. We prioritize:
- Rider Biomechanics: Cultivating an independent, effective seat that allows the horse to move freely.
- Straightness and Engagement: Training the horse to carry itself with balance, maximizing soundness and performance longevity.
- Clear Communication: Establishing light, consistent aids that transition seamlessly from the arena to the field.
This classical foundation provides the essential skills that translate into precise obstacle work for Working Equitation and quiet, adjustable rhythm over fences for the Hunter Jumper.
