Olivia never shies from a client's challenge: be it ambitious goals, overcoming deep rooted issues, or supporting horse and rider partnership through the nuances of the discipline of dressage. Olivia believes that dressage riders all have one thing in common: a desire to better themselves through a better connection with their horse.

Our commitment to riding is not only to improve our time in the saddle but to improve our skills at horsemanship as well.
