DRESSAGE
Whether you're not completely sure what it means
or you're on your way to Prix St. George, Sam can help. Starting with your
Riding Basics, you will find your turns are
softer, your horse is focused, your accuracy is improved, your horse can relax
his topline, and his availability and submission to your aids will be great.
All the basic requirements of a dressage test will be accomplished. With your
horse's mind available, it will become an enjoyable partnership as you progress
towards higher levels.

If you're already competing at higher levels you
will appreciate the small details Sam offers to help you the correct the
effectiveness of your position to influence aids that will create a quality,
fluid and rhythmic ride. You will start to fine tune your marks at the bottom of
the test while coached by a keen eye.
TEC has two full size sand dressage arenas; one
has a set of four large mirrors for personal viewing.
JUMPING
Our jump course with brightly colored jumps
including: roll tops, flower boxes, gates, planks and more, will invite you to
improve and gain experience. Learn how to ride accurate and fluid lines, bending
lines, long and short approaches, land on the correct lead and address the
technical details to become a winner in the ring. By addressing clear
communication between horse and rider on the flat first, the rest will "jump"
into place. With the rider thinking and making decisions throughout the course,
they will be taking their horse for a rewarding ride rather than just hanging on
and "surviving the ride."
CROSS COUNTRY
Cross country can be an exhilarating jumping
experience (for us anyway)! We have trails for beginners that range from no
jumps to those with logs to tables, a water complex and coops. A cross country
training course is in progress. From beginner riders learning about hill climbs
and descents and traveling through both a wooded setting and open fields the
woods to more advanced experienced riders, The Equestrian Center has something
to offer everyone.

CONDITIONING
Tired of going round and round? Looking for the
opportunity to leg up your horse? Our half mile long conditioning track is made
of wood chips spread 10-12' wide. It offers an easy dip and short uphill that
encourages a variety of striding with long stretches for a fun gallop!
Completely surrounded by fencing, you'll enjoy a safe ride with an open feel.
