DressageTraining 

Welcome to Santa Ynez Riding School, where we specialize in dressage horseback riding and lessons.

Our goal is to foster communication and harmony between horse and rider through the use of subtle aids. Led by our primary trainer, Michelle Freels, a  USDF Gold Freestyle Bar and Gold Medalist, we cater to all levels, from young horses to Grand Prix competitors.

We also welcome horses with issues, ensuring a supportive environment for every rider and horse.

Training both for serious competition goals and for the joy of riding and groundwork.  From the arena to the trail to the beach whatever your goals are to enjoy happy communication with your horse.
