2008 Classical Dressage Performances
Our performance dates for 2008 are:
July 12, 2008
August 30, 2008
These are two events you won't want to miss. An hour and a half to two hours of dressage, driving, and Lipizzan performances followed by a get-together with refreshments and "Meet the Riders."
Dressage Vacations
Spring is here and in full glory. It is the perfect time of year for a classical dressage riding vacation. With our well-trained lesson horses (most of which are Lipizzans), students can learn the correct seat, feel, and timing of the aids. All of this in the beautiful, serene, lightly forested scenery of Goldendale, Washington which sits below the gorgeous Mt. Adams. Programs are fully customized for each rider's needs and schedule, and are even available in German or English. The Golf Course next door can accommodate non-horsey spouses, as well as many other region activities (skiing, hiking, sightseeing, kayaking, white-water rafting, snowboarding, windsurfing, kite boarding, shopping, wine-tasting, museums, etc.)
Email Thomas for scheduling and details.
