AdVANCED Coaching
Crescent Stables is home to several advanced coaches who provide specialized training for hunter/jumper and dressage riders. Instruction is available on students’ own horses or our school horses. Whether you are training for competition, or simply seeking a “personal best,” our coaches will tailor an individual learning plan to help you achieve your personal goals.
With a focus on Equitation Science, riders at Crescent will learn to ride their horses in the most ethical way possible, with a better understanding of why horses do what they do, and how to more efficiently teach them what we want them to do. This creates relaxed horses who understand their job and exactly how to get rewarded by you, the rider!
Extra support for the focused rider includes lunge lessons to improve the seat and clarity of aids, and individual sessions for goal setting, anxiety management, and other mental skills with Dr. Susan Thompson, who specializes in sports performance counselling.
