Belvedere Stables specializes in starting
and educating young sport horses. A lot of times youngsters get
'left behind' in a busy training program, having to fit into a
tight schedule and not getting the extra time they need to create
a solid well-rounded basis to build on. Here at Belvedere Stables
your youngsters will learn not only all their ground manners,
they will receive an allround education and training that involves
not only dressage and H/J basics, but also trail, desensitizing,
handling themselves in a crowded ring, and being patient when
required. Not all show barns accept horses to be broke to ride
or spend the time each individual horse requires for the first
months, Belvedere Stables fills this gap with giving your horse
a solid start with correct aids, creating a basis and a character
profile of your horse that any trainer can build on with ease.
Our
training programs are oriented towards Dressage up to 3rd Level,
spanish Dressage, Hunter/Jumper, and Eventing careers for horses
of all breeds. Although we specialize in the training of young
and green horses, we also welcome boarders who would like to join
one of our full or partial training programs.
Every horse is an individual and learns best at his own pace and
to his physical and mental capabilities. By developing individual
Training Programs for each horse, we assure that the horses in
our care are broke to ride and/or trained in a manner that lets
them enjoy what they do and enables them to excel in any discipline.
We take great pride in our training program, and enjoy watching
our horses and their owners blossom into competitive riding partners.
TESTIMONIALS
I
started dressage training with Marion in early 2007. I had been
a hard working dressage rider for almost a decade. I was showing
at first level but wasn’t able to progress any further.
Marion immediately diagnosed my problem…I was too tense!!
I was clamping with my knees and my body was giving the horse
the message to stop not to go. Marion spent a lot of time working
with me to relax. Once I relaxed, the horse would move willingly
forward. She had me ride horses that were schooled in the upper
level movements, which helped me to understand the aids. I never
thought I could do canter pirouettes, passage and piaffe.
Marion assisted me in importing a young talented Andalusian from
Mexico. Many trainers don’t allow the owner to ride a young
horse until he is educated. Marion had me ride my horse right
from the beginning. She did this in a safe controlled environment
that allowed me to be part of the process. This has been a wonderful
experience and a great confidence builder.
