SERVICES - CLINICS, LESSONS AND TRAINING

Susanne will travel to your stable in the Ottawa - Kingston - Belleville area to offer regular lessons or a clinic in Classical Dressage to adults, youth and children. Her instruction is carefully tailored to your ability, from beginner to the very advanced rider and horse, according to the Training Scale and the principals of classical dressage. 

Are you ready to move up to the next level? Would you like to encourage your horse to be softer with more impulsion? Would you love that your horse does not have a stiff side anymore, but can move square and rhytmic? Are you stuck at a plateau or in some way blocked? Are you and your advanced horse ready for a training program that will lead to high school exercises?

Susanne has a wealth of knowledge rooted in European classical dressage, natural horsemanship, competition at the national and international level in Switzerland, and teaching and training in Europe and Canada.  She has a discerning eye and a creative approach to problem solving. Susanne creates a calm supportive learning environment, and always keeps the progressive development and best interests of your horse in mind.

Susanne offers private ($80.00) or semi-private (55.00 ea.) lessons, but also loves to teach two-day clinics; for further details, please ask!

TRAINING YOUR HORSE - A HAPPY HORSE MAKES A GREAT HORSE!

We offer customized horse training in dressage, for the Basic to Grand Prix horse and rider. We have a limited number of spaces so please contact us to discuss your training needs and to reserve a time that is mutually convenient.

“Dressage” is a French word meaning “training“. Whether you aspire to Olympic jumping or wish to develop a harmonious relationship with your horse for recreational riding, dressage is the foundation of all horse training.” Susanne Vogt, Grand Prix trained, employs a holistic approach, using the building blocks of classical principles in the training of dressage. She realizes the potential and individuality of each horse she trains and develops an all-inclusive program that seeks to improve the balance, power, health and well-being of your horse. What’s more, she is then able to transfer that knowledge to the rider, so that the education of the horse and rider become harmonized.

“If I were to only train the horse, and then return it to the rider, only one of them would be educated”, Susanne notes. The importance of educating both the horse and rider is paramount in the success of the horse-rider team. Susanne is able to do both.

We have ideal facilities to care for your horse during training. We have approx. 20 acre pastures, private turnout and/or box stalls exclusively set up for boarders. Our training facility includes: a round pen, a sand ring (20m x 60m), another sand ring (20m x 40m), our lovely trails (incl. cross country jumping trail) and last but not least; our well groomed 20m x 40m indoor riding arena with heated upper viewing room!

We only take pre-assessed horses and a max of 1 horse at a time so we have enough time for your horse. We do not break green horses. Give us a call at 613-802-6464 to find out more.  

TESTIMONIALS:

Hi Susanne, I just wanted to let you know that we really appreciate you coming to teach us. We know it is a long way, so we really appreciate the effort and time you put in. We really feel that we have progressed a lot and are on a very good path. I didn’t think we had a chance of getting much further with Foxy, but with your help I feel like the door is open to do much more. See you next weekend - Kate Teeple, Ottawa

Hi Susanne, thank you so much for these lessons. This was a great way to end the season for us...! I am really being totally truthful when I say my horses have never gone better then they are right now and that is thanks to your gentle but careful and precise training methods. For me “going well” means that they are also happy to do the work, further evidence that your methods do not make them sore or cranky. It really is great!Dana Henry, Hemlock Hollow Farm, Canton USA
