Special Programs
In addition to boarding, lessons, and training, Drew Training Stables offers two special programs to enhance the effectiveness of the dressage rider. The Schoolmaster program allows the rider to gain valuable experience on dressage school masters. The Rider Fitness Program assists the rider in improving their own fitness level.
SCHOOLMASTER PROGRAM
This program gives students the rare opportunity to be instructed on advanced level dressage horses who are quiet and safe. We have several well trained dressage horses available to improve your riding, whether your goal is to gain a secure seat in sitting trot, to learn lateral moves, or to practice flying changes. If you have your own horse but want to move up in the dressage levels above your horse’s ability, own a horse who is on the bench due to lameness, or have not yet decided to buy a horse but want to learn dressage and/or practice a specific skill set , we have a teammate available to help you accomplish your goals. A added benefit is that your greatest progress will come from riding different horses.
