Qualified trainer for Hunter/Equitation and Jumpers

I am not sure witch rider I should get,I am new for this.

Jean Luc Cornille teaches how to analyze the horse’s difficulties and how to implement the solutions.

Private lessons can be scheduled at Clermark Equestrian week or week end days. (Bradenton Florida)

Due to Jean Luc’s analytic approach, horses and riders are better served with private lessons. However, as an introduction to the concept of the science of motion or the study of a specific movement such as for example shoulder in, small groups, 2 or 3 riders are accepted... See More

Jumping and dressage trainer with 35 years experience. Riding jumping and dressage for 45 years. Relocated in Florida from Mexico City, 10 months ago. I will come to you and teach you and your horses!!!

DHEC's lesson program is world class. Our philosophy is to provide quality instruction by an experienced trainer with a focus on safety, horsemanship and fun. We offer lessons 6 days a week for both boarders and non-boarders alike. The first lesson will include an evaluation of the rider's level of experience and skill. After this lesson, we will place you into a private lesson or group lesson where you will ride with other students at a similar skill level.

We offer dressage and show jumping lessons plus have a 5-acre cross-country schooling field for eventing. We go to both h/j and eventing shows on a regular basis. Some of the local shows we attend are MSC, POP, Grand Oaks, Majestic Oaks, 3 Lakes, Sweet Dixie South, Barnstaple and Rocking Horse . We also attend rated dressage shows and eventing horse trials throughout Florida and the Southeast.

Specializing in those difficult OTTB's or the well-bred WB's, (we don't breed discriminate here, so bring it on!) From fresh off-the-track to bringing back from rehab or years spent in the pasture, our quality training at DHEC will show you the horse you were meant to ride! All horses and their owners become family at Dream Horse Equestrian Center, and we look forward to meeting you and your 4-legged partner, and strive to help you reach your goals!

For the beginner, DHEC teaches how to tack up and basic horse care and grooming. We believe that taking care of your horse is an important part of the lesson program. Caring for your horse before and after each lesson makes each rider feel more comfortable around horses, teaches responsibility and allows the rider to feel closer to their mount. We start at the very beginning teaching balance as a number one priority.

For the more advanced riders, we offer an extensive lesson program focusing on safety and horsemanship so you can move up to that next level. The program features many school horses, group instruction, and frequent participation in local shows. DHEC provides additional services for the equestrian community, including offering horses both for sale and for lease.

Because the safety of our riders is extremely important, ALL riders must wear a helmet. We provide helmets for riders who do not have their own. Please wear long pants or breeches (jeans are ok). Paddock boots are ideal or a hard-soled boot with a small heel is acceptable (no tennis shoes).

Lesson packages and gift certificates are available. Please call us to schedule a time to come out to the farm to see the facility, meet the horses and enjoy your first lesson.... See More
