Welcome to Dressage by Nicol
Check out our latest results on the Sales & News and Video's page! Updated March of 2012!
Our dressage lessons and training programs are tailored to the individual horse and rider using basic horsemanship skills and training principals as taught by the United States Dressage Federation. Nicol takes into consideration your learning style (auditory, kinesthetic or visual) and teaches theory, bio-mechanics and herd behavior to maximize you and your horse's performance. Consistent attention to relaxation and confidence for the horse and riders are also in the forefront of the lessons because the above would be lost if there was not trust in the partnership. Nicol's goal is for you to enjoy your horse while maintaining your horses happy mental state and soundness in pursuit of your goals.
Nicol has cliniced with Olympic riders Leslie Reid (Canada) and Dr. Cesar Parra (Columbia) and other international level riders such as Miguel Duatre (Portugal) and Paul Belasik (USA) to name a few. She was a working student for Debbie Fornia-Dewitt and Morgan Barrows. She has attended USDF Symposiums, routinely audits clinics, participates as a demo-rider and shows at recognized USDF and AHA shows and has judged at local schooling shows, and is pursuing the L program as a candidate.
Our program is open to adults and junior riders that are interested in competition or just being a better rider with more knowledge about your horse or horses in general. All breeds are welcomed and encouraged.
