Would you like an easy to understand, written evaluation of your riding that you can refer to again and again?
Do you forget a lot of what your trainer says in lessons? Wish you could write it all down or ask detailed questions?
Are you working alone with no access to a correct dressage trainer?
Correct, knowledgeable trainers are few and far between. Classical trainers are even scarcer.
All THINKING riders wonder if what they are learning is correct, humane, and making the horse sounder and happier.
Do you wish you had a “second opinion” of the program you are in?
Or another knowledgeable person to bounce questions off?
There are lots and lots of opportunities out there for remote learning these days.
Are they personalized for you and your horse?
Have you taken those online courses and found them just overwhelming? Buying course after course and not finishing them? You don’t know if you are really making progress or if the exercises really apply to you and your horse?
A comprehensive video evaluation is a great tool for you and your horse!
Get real, detailed feedback, exercises, and tips to make progress.
On your schedule, with your horse.
Just send a link to a 10-30 minute video and let me know what you are working on. That’s it – easy!! Within a week you will have feedback in your inbox that you can immediately apply to your training.
I am knowledgeable about both the German and French dressage methods as well as others. The Masters used experience and intuition to explain and train. Now we have science to understand what they got right and wrong, and to go beyond the tradition.
NO! But you do have to be willing to open your mind and think. My equestrian coaching is for riders and horses of all types, in all disciplines, not only dressage, who are looking for a more humane, thought based training program to promote the health and longevity of their horses and excel in their performance, whether you compete or not.
So much new equestrian and dressage knowledge is being discovered each and every day. Stay on the cutting edge of health, mind and performance for both horse and rider.
If you are a rider who loves to seek knowledge to understand how to prepare your horse for the demands of performance while enhancing his or her physical and psychological health and welfare, this program is for you.

"There is no BS with you. You have the ability to zero in on the weakness, criticize without judgement and provide a very logical solution but still allow mistakes until the student understands how to execute. That builds self-esteem and forward progress. You are also the only trainer so far who is willing to allow 100 questions to help the student understand what is being asked and that for me is everything in dressage. Love you❤️" (Kris)
"Carole Curley rocks !!!!! And she is also a wonderful dressage judge !!!!" (Coeli)
"This is what makes you an excellent teacher. You push when you need to and give solutions for issues that build confidence". (Kelli)
