Dressage Riding Lessons Focused on Confidence, Relaxation and Connection

At Dressage Plus, I combine Classical Dressage training methods with Mindset Coaching to help both horse and rider progress with confidence, relaxation, and clarity.

Each lesson goes beyond technical skills, supporting you to develop a calm, engaged, and balanced horse while also building your confidence, focus, and enjoyment in the saddle.

Tailored Lessons for Every Rider

Whether you’re returning to riding after time out of the saddle or actively competing and looking to refine your mindset and improve your performance, I tailor each lesson to meet your personal goals and current challenges.

Lessons are designed to support both:

  • Riders rebuilding confidence after time out of the saddle

  • Competition riders aiming to improve performance, results, and consistency

What I Focus On

Dressage riding lessons include both riding instruction and mindset coaching, helping you:

  • Improve engagement, self-carriage, and natural uphill balance

  • Build rider confidence, focus, and enjoyment

  • Develop softness and relaxation in both horse and rider

  • Use mindset tools to overcome nerves, self-doubt, and competition pressure
