Dressage ...

Competing...

Whether you want to train your horse using dressage techniques, compete in dressage or just learn a new style of riding, Jackie can help you at all levels!

The fundamental purpose of dressage is to develop, through standardized progressive training methods, the horse's natural athletic ability and willingness to perform, thereby maximizing its potential as a riding horse (USDF).

Dressage is a discipline that can be beneficial for horses and riders of all ages and levels of training.   Jackie can help you and your horse work to master the fundamentals of dressage.  Once you are comfortable with the basics, Jackie helps riders guide their horses through more intricate movements and works to foster a smooth relationship between horse and rider.  

At Jack MacDonald Stables, we believe that dressage is the basis of all training; all types

of horses and styles of riding can benefit from dressage training.  By using dressage techniques, Jackie works to help both horse and rider move successfully forward towards becoming a complementary team.
