🌟 Our Philosophy

At Total Equestrian Experience, every rider starts with a foundation in Classical Dressage. Many go on to jumping, eventing, or western pleasure—but all continue dressage to benefit the horse.

All lessons are supervised by American Riding Instructor Certified instructors, who also keep learning through weekly lessons, clinics, and seminars.
