It's All About The Journey
In-Person Dressage Lessons
Brad offers comprehensive in-person dressage lessons tailored to meet the individual needs of each rider and horse combination.
Emphasizing strong fundamentals, improved gaits, and a relaxed equine partner, Brad helps you develop a harmonious relationship with your horse.
His supportive coaching style ensures riders understand not only what adjustments to make, but why.
"Don't make them perform, make them want to perform."
Struggling with improving your riding?
Even the most dedicated riders hit roadblocks. If you’ve been facing any of these challenges, Brad’s tailored, in-person lessons can help you break through and start seeing real progress.
Feeling “Stuck” at Your Current Level
For example, if you’ve been at Second Level for years, Brad identifies the missing pieces and gives you a clear plan to move forward.
Competition Nerves Holding You Back
Ride well at home but freeze in the show ring? Brad helps you build confidence and a reliable mental warm-up routine.
Struggling With Collection
If your horse loses impulsion or gets heavy in the hand, Brad shows you how to develop strength, suppleness, and self-carriage without tension.
Unclear or Inconsistent Aids
Inconsistent responses often mean unclear timing or balance. Brad sharpens your communication so your horse listens every time.

Brad has been my full-time trainer for the past two years. I have come from barely being able to canter my Andalusian without falling apart and rushing, to working on piaffe, tempis, and pirouettes. I stagnated for many years under a different trainer. Brad has the international world class experience, the knowledge, and the ability to diagnose and communicate effective tools to help both horse and rider problem solve and excel, while also being caring and kind to both horses and riders. I only wish I had met Brad sooner.

When I started working with Brad I was competing at first level. Thanks to his consistent coaching and support, I’m now showing at fourth level, have earned my Bronze Medal, and am working towards my Silver! Brad has a way of explaining things that just clicks - he makes complex concepts feel simple and gives you tools to diagnose and improve your riding and training even when he’s not there. I always leave lessons feeling more confident, capable, and inspired!
