Holistic Horse Development

Success in dressage... and everything else you dream of doing with horses!
         



                                        
Holistic Horse Development is a performance-oriented education and training program designed to guide a horse and rider along the path to realizing their ultimate athletic potential.

Our vision is to get students to take a wide view of the horse not just as an athlete capable of amazing feats of physical expression and inter-species bonding, but also as an intelligent animal with thoughts, emotions, and needs. These unique qualities of Equus are enabled and enhanced by excellent health, soundness of body and mind, and the building of a relationship between horse and rider based on trust, clear communication, and mutual respect.

This panoramic way of looking at the whole horse, this new way of looking at the whole training picture, is Holistic Horse Development (HHD)™- an intensive program of study focused on six  natural, science-based philosophies and practices:
