What makes our program unique?
Our program began with a clear and focused objective: to ensure that horses and horse enthusiasts not only survive but truly thrive for many years to come. As we observe our community, we increasingly notice the effects of family farms gradually disappearing, widespread misconceptions about horses, and unsafe riding practices that put both riders and animals at risk. We remain confident that by basing our training on these essential key principles, we can effectively preserve and responsibly pass down the rich equestrian heritage to future generations.

Dressage is an equestrian sport and art form focused on the harmonious relationship between horse and rider, emphasizing precision, elegance, and the seamless execution of movements. The goal is to develop a horse that is supple, confident, attentive, and capable of responding to the rider's aids with fluidity and grace. Every healthy horse can gain from proper training! We focus on teaching classical principles in a clear and accessible manner, allowing riders and horses of all levels to experience the advantages.

While some trainers focus exclusively on teaching riders or solely on training horses, at ALE we place a strong emphasis on nurturing a rider's natural feel and intuitive connection. This approach is designed to enhance the partnership between rider and horse, ultimately supporting the long-term success and harmony of their team.

At ALE, our attention extends beyond the arena to embrace every important aspect of both horse and human well-being. With an experienced in-house trainer, knowledgeable farrier, and dedicated equine massage therapist on staff, we make the complete care of each horse our top priority. For our riders and the entire team, we also partner with skilled chiropractors and mindset specialists, ensuring comprehensive support for overall health, mental focus, and peak performance.
