Style and performance jumping equitation clinic is a focus on style of rider, use of aids, smoothness, balance and relaxation of horse.

Prix Caprilli - Pronounced “pre-cah-prilly” essentially is dressage with some jumps added as a more complete test of training. The jumps are low, and there are only two or three in a test. It’s all about seamless riding and communication with your horse.
