Kirkridge Farm



The Dressage Lesson program at Kirkridge is somewhat unique.All school horses are trained in Advanced Level Dressage: Prix St.George level and up. This provides riders with an opportunity to ride well schooled and balanced horses therefore progressing at a faster rate. It gives riders a chance to ride from the basic levels and work steadily to the highest levels. As you are well aware of, a trained schoolmaster is worth $50,000 and up. This gives riders an opportunity to ride qualilty horses without the financial outlay. Kirkridge students are both recreational and competitve riders, and Elaine welcomes riders to learn in a relaxed atmosphere. KEC is a private teaching facility with an indoor arena and 3 large outdoor dressage rings. Lessons are scheduled so that Elaine works each student without the hustle and bustle of a large boarding stable or riding school.

The First Show is Upon Us!- Re-Click on this Line for Times

Well, another show season is here already. After coming back from Red Deer last weekend after conducting yet another successful dressage clinic, it's time to get back into the show mode! Mother nature is supposed to be on our side this Sunday, and we are hoping for some nice weather. The show is at Hendervale in Milton.
Megan and Kahlua will be competing in their first show ever at Walk/Trot level; and Sophie and Gen Custer (Mav) will be going down the centre line at 3rd level and FEI Junior. This will also be Sophies' first dressage show. Both are very promising junior riders!
So, if you are in the area, please stop by and see us at the show.
The link for the dressage times can be found if you click on the title of this blog message. We start at 8:21am and finish at 11:22am.
