Lessons and Training at Amado Equine
What is dressage? Dressage is simply the art of riding and training a horse in a methodical approach that develops obedience, flexibility, and balance. Classical dressage is a practice and art of riding in harmony with, rather than against, the horse. Today the human need for achieving, making a competition out of things, and putting lots of money and ego at stake, adds different flavors and influences our perspective when it comes to studying dressage. It appears that many riders who at first began riding for the beauty and love of it have lost the joy they once got from it. And in the pursuit of "winning" and competing they have lost wholeheartedness and kindness when it comes to the horses. This is a sad reality that brings challenges for people and their horses. We have lost touch with harmony, unity and joy, instead seek the "better horse", the "better trainer”, the "win". There is so much misunderstanding and confusion in riding especially for the horses that get cast out for lack of compliance or understanding.
Become the horse lover who wants to ENJOY THE BENEFITS of riding dressage for fun, relaxation, and personal growth. At Amado Equine Hacienda we specialize in giving people a foundation that focuses on the relationship between human and horse; a relationship that celebrates the joy and connection that people want with their horses and how they want to FEEL
Lessons and Training
At Amado Equine we emphasize the helping of horses and riders with the fundamentals of classical dressage, centered riding, and ground skills, which is beneficial for all riding disciplines. We strive to improve your riding skills and communication with your horse, therefore enhancing your overall riding experience. Our unique focus is on building a relationship between horse and rider through hands-on horsemanship. Each student- whether age 5 or 65- takes care of their horse by completely tacking up before each lesson, and un-tacking and returning their horse to its stall/corral/pasture when they are done. We believe horses are not just animals to be ridden, but individuals that thrive with abundant interaction and attention from the students. The ultimate goal of our training program is to use positive experiences to build a foundation for horse and rider to perform with confidence and expertise. This creates an atmosphere of success and progress where riders and horses are encouraged to enjoy their work while increasing their skill sets.
We teach children (min 10 yrs) and adults how to be with horses, learn horsemanship and conscious dressage in a safe, connected, and profound way. We offer a safe place to learn and evolve as an equestrian and a human being.
We teach private and semi-private sessions. Join us at our ranch just a few miles south of Green Valley, AZ.
If the horses are calling you, if you are looking for connection, an outlet for self growth, relaxation, fitness and accomplishment together with horses. Then we offer a path for you and a place to begin your journey. . .or to start again. Join Amado Equine to see the difference Gus and Bobbi can make for you and your horse.
