Victory Land is a state of thoughtful being - a place that any rider may choose to journey with a horse. The only requirement is a heart that seeks to honor the horse above all other equestrian endeavors. We too are passionate about our relationship with each horse that we encounter.

u, we know the importance of happy, sound horses, safe interactions, and kind, yet effective training for horse and rider. Riders and handlers can learn much from horses, when we are listening. We invite you to share perspectives and experiences as you journey to explore the mind, body, and soul of your horse with us. By respecting your ideas, refining your techniques and compassionately developing your horses' abilities, you will find that your very own victory awaits. Victory Land Dressage exists for the compassionate horse person.

**🌟 Grateful for a Weekend of Learning & Connection 🌟**
I had the absolute pleasure of teaching a recent clinic at **April Henderson's ** in Myrtle Beach, where we focused on **Compassionate Dressage** — blending kindness, understanding, and skill to support both horses and humans in their journey together.

A special thank you to **April** for her warm hospitality and unwavering dedication to her horses. Your commitment to deepening your understanding and refining your skills is truly inspiring, and it was an honor to be part of that.

I was also so grateful to connect with **John Lahut**, a sweet and gracious trainer whose openness and thoughtful approach were wonderful to witness. John's desire to expand his knowledge and explore compassionate methods speaks volumes about his care for the horses in his life.

Seeing passionate equestrians like April and John investing in their growth, embracing new ideas, and putting their horses’ well-being first fills my heart with hope for the equestrian world.

If you're interested in hosting a clinic focused on **Compassionate Dressage**, **Positive Reinforcement**, or **Building Stronger Partnerships with Your Horse**, I’d love to connect! These clinics are designed to meet you and your horse where you are — and help you move forward with confidence, clarity, and compassion.

💌 Feel free to reach out if you'd like to bring this experience to your barn or community!

With gratitude,
Melissa ❤️🐴

Horses are often forced to engage in unnatural feeding positions depending on the height hay nets are hung. An Italian study examined the effects based on specific feeding postures: ground, low hay net, high hay net.
