Equestrian Science & Classical Dressage

The course´s academic plan integrates equestrian culture since its early stages until recent times. Our students take different equestrian topics providing them an overall knowledge of the horse’s environment. Alongside theory lessons, students take practical lessons from our professors, hence achieving a global learning.

A meticulous techno-practical program concerning the correct method of horse training is offered. Our goal is to strengthen the abilities of both riders and horses to rise their capabilities and achieve outstanding performance, initiating with the three natural horse gaits: Walk, trot, and gallop. Once a perfect coordination is achieved (connection and harmony between rider and horse), a higher level teaching begins: classical dressage, requiring a higher expression of movements, rhythm, and tempo.  This way, riders become qualified to rightfully train horses for exhibitions and/or competitions.

The program is divided in three levels, each level lasting four months, with a total duration of one year. At the end of each level, the student is issued an official diploma certifying the reached level. Distinguished students are invited to participate as professional riders in our equestrian show that tours Mexico gaining extra-curricular experience.
