At Celisse’s School of the Equestrian Arts, instructors utilize their trick-riding backgrounds to create fundamental equestrian exercises for novice and experienced riders. Sessions take place in a serene farm setting spotted by white picket fences where students spend their afternoons acquainting themselves with their steed over snacks of carrots and salt licks. Introductory lessons cover the fundamentals of English and Western riding styles, including the proper way to grasp the reigns and the correct pronunciation of aluminum. While laying the groundwork for better horsemanship, attendees also gain exposure to jumping, reining, and the competitive showcasing of dressage.
