Horizon Equestrian Center

Horizon Equestrian Center Welcome to Horizon Equestrian Centre, a premier dressage-focused boarding, lessons and training facility for horses and riders of all levels and aspirations

After 28 years in business 1994 – 2022, the Horizon philosophy has not changed. We offer quality care, individual attention, and top-notch, qualified instruction to produce the best horses and riders possible. I have always believed in a community environment, with a fun, enlightening, social element to truly make this a happy place for clients. Whether competition is the objective or not, the goa

l is continued learning with the horses, progressing in a correct, safe, and timely manner. I believe in correct basics, starting from the beginning with the young horses and in correct equitation for the riders. There are no short cuts. It is a sport of detail and accuracy and the basics are what takes the rider and horses successfully up the levels. The joy of dressage is not only reaching the goals but the journey along the way. Horizon is filled with riders on that journey. Horizon Equestrian offers clinics with Canadian Olympic and Pan Am team member, Tom Dvorak 4-5 times a year. Tom has been my trainer and mentor for over 15 years and exemplifies the best qualities that a dressage rider could have. Flawless equitation, a true understanding of the training scale and tools needed to produce high-level dressage horses, and an unwavering belief in correct basics. His horses are textbook and his results speak volumes. Spectators are always welcome and rider participation is encouraged. Both myself and a staff member live on site to provide security. I have purchased my hay from the same supplier for the past 19 years who provides me with top-quality product. I have used the same farrier for 22 years, Ron Tucker who is regarded in the industry as one of the best performance farriers in Alberta. I have matched many horse-and-rider combinations successfully over the years, bred many successful sport horses, and trained consistent winners in the show ring. My ongoing goal to create the best care and learning environment continues today, with the addition now of Centerline Success. As a certified performance-life coach, this new element to my business continues to bring growth and personal development to my clients.

“I’ve known Tom for many years and have the utmost respect for him as a rider, a trainer, and as a representative for Canada on many international teams,” says Burke. “I love that he’s trained in the classical German system, and I believe his effectiveness, skill, and kindness as a rider make him a perfect fit for this very special stallion. This is a world-class horse who deserves a world-class rider, and Tom certainly fits the bill.”

Exciting new ride for Tom Dvorak as he takes over the reins of Pangaea Farms stallion Feinrich. Full story: http://www.dressagenews.ca/canadian-dressage-news/exciting-new-ride-for-tom-dvorak

Some video of Sheri and Felicity at the AEF Gina Smith clinic this past weekend. Such a pretty pair!

Beautiful view from the outdoor arena. Here is a short clip of Sheri Dumonceaux working with one of our young horses, three year old Philip (Tørveslettens Sylvester x Kadans). Ground driving is an important aspect of the young horse training programme here at Horizon Equestrian Center.

Presenting "24(ish) Questions with Tom Dvorak" A segment (and maybe our last, haha) in our new series "From the Lawn Chairs" presented by Horizon Equestrian Center Thank you to Kat Kaylee for her mad video-editing skills, Rebecca Hansen for the videography, and Sheri Dumonceaux and Tom Dvorak for just being generally good sports about all the silliness.

Ever wonder how we start the young horses? Meet Tuffy the Headless Horsewoman (upper and lower), who plays a key role in desensitizing so the horse can get a feel for having movement from above. First timer Teddy was a rockstar this afternoon! Not bothered.
