Our Principles
All the trainers at White Fences, adhere to classical Dressage principles. We believe that riding must be a source of enjoyment for horse and rider, derived from dedication and hard work. We employ the USDF / USEF Pyramid of Training in our approach and uses it as a basis for discussion with owners. The training staff has been immersed in these ideas and follows that approach and leadership, ranging from starting a foal off at birth to appreciate the companionship of humans to starting a training program that brings a young horse under saddle, to perfecting FEI movements.
Developing Harmony and Trust
At White Fences Equestrian Center, we believe in a holistic approach to horse training that prioritizes the well-being and long-term success of both horse and rider. Our experienced trainers in Manor, Texas, (near Austin), combine classical dressage principles with a deep understanding of equine behavior to create personalized training programs that foster trust, confidence, and a harmonious partnership.
