Showing up is half the battle! Thanks to Anna and Grace and the rest of the amazing farm team - Sutton, Kris, and Stephanie - for showing up in snow, ice, sub zero temps and everything in between this winter. It takes a village. We appreciate you and the horses do too!! 🐎🔥🩷

Today Carlisle instructors embarked on a 5-month Instructor Development Program through a collaboration with classical trainer and biomechanics guru Susanne Winslade. Susanne is sharing her depth of teaching experience, grounded in foundational principles, combined with learning tools which are already proving instructive to our team.

We are looking forward to the months of learning ahead (including with instructors who couldn’t be with us today), and to the enhancements for our students across all ages and abilities.

This lovely plaque came as a surprise in the mail this week. 🐴 It’s an honor to help build the pipeline and host clinics as a USEF Para-Dressage Center of Excellence. We look forward to more clinics and para-dressage programming in 2026!
