She is one of the only trainers you will find who starts horses herself and uses long line training to develope the horse prior to being ridden. The horse must be developed gradually using the training pyramid and he must enjoy his job. Michelle uses classical methods and positive rewards to accomplish this as well as support like a bio pulse magnetic therapy blanket and chiropractic care and quality farriers.

Lucy enjoys teaching riders from many backgrounds. She finds it rewarding to work with beginners as well as advanced riders. The fundamentals of dressage can be introduced at any age and riders at Classical Hoofbeats Dressage range in age from six to sixty. Lucy deconstructs the complex theory and application of dressage. She then presents the information and instructs the rider in a way that makes dressage understandable and enjoyable.
