Dressage Training in Lynchburg, Virginia (Lynchburg City County)

I train Dressage up to 4th level and am capable of progressing a horse and rider from beginner through advanced. My style of riding is rich in emphasizing the basics of good training so that the horse may progress with ease. My knowledge base comes from over 5,000 hours in the saddle on over 500 different types of horses from green to made horses. Classical dressage techniques are used. Also, I use a form of natural horsemanship that is thousands of years old, is cruelty free, safe, and effective! Can't catch your horse in his field? Load him in the trailer? Make him stand for the farrier, or just respect your space? Maybe you want to teach him/her to longe like a civilized horse? Because of my diverse background I excel with "problem" horses and hot horses...but also with a good citizen from any discipline. I can train horses to be very versatile: they know how to go on the trail on steep terrain, jump, cross obstacles, and go on the bit forward and freely with enough obedience to do a 1st level test in 90-150 days.
You tell me what you want, I can make it happen!... See More

At your place !

Individualized Instruction

If you do not have access to a trainer at your farm or your barn, I will come to you!
All you need is a fairly flat spot to ride, big enough that you can comfortably trot or canter. (approx. 60x40 foot minimum)
I am fully insured, and will gladly supply proof of coverage.
If you board, please, make sure your barn owner accepts outside trainers.

My specialty

Your weakness is my strength! I specialize in developing your seat, your balance, your contact with your horse and understanding the biomechanics of your seat and aids.
Have you ever thought: “I understand what to do, but not why?” Then I am your person.
Dressage and flatwork is an ongoing process that never stops evolving. Regardless of your discipline I can help you build a sustainable relationship with your horse, and increase both your and your horse's athletic ability over time.

Testimonials

“Eva is an extremely caring, knowledgeable instructor for all levels and ages. She tailors every lesson to the horse and rider’s needs. Lessons with her helped greatly restore my confidence in my riding abilities. Genuinely can’t recommend her enough!” -Crystal

“I've taken lessons from Eva for about two years and have grown tremendously in my riding and horsemanship under her mentorship. Not only did I learn mechanics and riding skills but also insights on my horse due to her vast knowledge of equines. Eva also has a great sense for what each riders personality needs whether it be tough love or gentle reminders. After every lesson I always walked away feeling like I had really learned a lot and inspired to keep progressing. You will not regret booking a lesson with her!” -Corrie

“Solid fundamental instruction from the ground up. Her style of teaching builds confidence while challenging the rider” -Sandy... See More
