Very true. We are here to teach you how to ride, care for a horse and loads of life lessons too, not provide an experience

By Emily Elek  I’m not into that customer stuff.  You know what I mean. There are so many in this business who refer to their “customers.” And the customer is always right…right? Except the barn is not an outlet mall. Our customer support team is run by small ponies with an agenda.  And I...

BY PONYMOMAMMY I am firmly in the camp of never blaming the horse/pony when things go wrong. This concept has been engrained in me since I first put a foot in the stirrup, and I hold strong to that belief today. Sometimes I wonder if this mentality is universal for all equestrians, and if it […]

Dressage is not abusive.
It’s a kind and ethical training.
Dressage is not flashy.
It’s about correct posture and spinal alignment.
Dressage is not exhausting.
It's about lightness and motivation.
Dressage is not about getting fast results.
It is quiet and humble.
Dressage is not about external validation.
It’s an art.
Dressage is not for building up your ego.
It’s a journey of self-discovery.
Dressage doesn’t wear out the joints.
It keeps your horse fit until old age.
Dressage doesn’t shut down the horse or cause anxiety.
It is about a human and a horse connecting on a deep level, from heart to heart.
When riding is abusive, flashy, exhausting, promises fast results, used to get external validation, needed to build up your ego, wears out the joints, and causes shut down or anxiety, it’s not dressage!

We are super excited to welcome a German clinician who needs no introduction to both riders and breeders alike! Aurum Equestrian will welcome Peter Borggreve quarterly.

Peter Borggreve was awarded a Master’s Degree in riding and teaching by the German FN. His scores were earned with distinction. From 1988 to 2004, Peter was director and riding instructor at the riding club in Heiden, Germany. There he successfully instructed his students in the art of dressage while he himself was competing through the Grand Prix. In the fall of 2004, Peter was honored to take the “Head Riding and Training Master” position at the famous German State Stud (Landgestuet) in Warendorf, Germany. At the State Stud, Peter was tasked with the training of 106 breeding stallions. In addition, he is in charge of all the musical freestyles and choreography of the Landgestuet’s annual Stallion Parade and Symphony.

Being an expert in quadrilles and musical freestyles, Peter was asked to design the dramatic 64-stallion quadrille that opened the 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany. Peter is also member of Germany’s National Bereiter examination committee for aspiring professional horse trainers, riding master candidates, as well as judges.

Peter trained and competed the Langestuet’s top stallions Laureus, Ehrenstolz, First Selection, and Fluery at international competitions such as the Hamburg Derby, Hickstedt in England, Wiesbaden, Bremen, Oldenburg, and Hagen. He also has qualified the young stallions and ridden them at Warendorf’s famous Bundeschampionat. Peter was on the German B Team and was also awarded “Westphalian Master” on the stallion Laureus. Peter has been traveling the US to teach dressage since 1996. He is a dedicated teacher that has the capability to take each horse and each rider classically through the levels to Grand Prix.

Peter is a wonderful trainer that knows how to get the most out of the horse and rider. He will be happy to train any level of rider and horse combination.

Auditors welcome and we have openings on the waitlist to ride
