Rules of the Arena

Rules of the Arena

Show season is coming up, and that means navigating a busy warm up arena! Riding in an arena full of horses is a bit like driving on the interstate – it takes practice! You would never send a new driver out onto an 8 lane highway without teaching them all the rules...

Testimonials

“Eliza is a competent, mature trainer. We watched her train our young gelding, Bogey, for three months. Eliza understands how to correctly start young horses and allows the horse to feel confident, safe and happy under saddle. She clearly follows the classical Training Scale and as a result, the horse moves softly and well-balanced under saddle.”

– Vicky Thomas

“I think that Eliza has a special ability to start young horses. They are handled with patience and care. She makes sure they worked without being pressured which preserves the longevity of these great animals.”

– Paulette Baucom, SC

I’ve been riding horses my entire life and I can honestly say that deciding to start working with Eliza in 2016 was the greatest investment I could have ever given myself and my horses. Eliza is a wealth of knowledge and is gifted in working with all riders, from complete beginners all the way through fellow professionals. She has an uncanny ability to inspire her students and their horses with her lifetime of experience and positive motivation. Eliza’s well rounded program has been essential in helping me become a better equestrian, rider and trainer than I ever knew possible. I look forward to every single lesson we have together because I know I will walk away with tangible progress and a deeper understanding into the complex world of dressage.
