       3-D Horsemanship Why our name? 3-D Horsemanship actually stands for “3-Dimentional”. Our training programs for both our horses and our riders are truly 3-Dimentional. Our riders learn many different styles on training so that they may be well prepared for each horse as an individual. Classical Dressage training is beneficial to horses & riders across all disciplines! Lisa has competed in Dressage for over 25 years, in many different arenas on many different horses for both Open Dressage and Eventing and most recently Western Dressage. Lisa has trained with and clinic’d with many trainers over the years, including Gerd Heuschmann, Michael Poulin, Elisabeth Heber, Stacey Hastings, and Helen Moore.      Even if you are not a “Dressage” rider, we encourage you to try a lesson with us. OUR DEFINITION OF DRESSAGE “…dressage is the art of improving one’s horse beyond the stage of plain usefulness, of making him more amenable, easier to control, pleasanter to ride, more graceful in his bearing and better to look upon.” W. Wynmalen WHY WE ARE A “CLASSICAL” TRAINING FACILITY We consider ourselves a “classical” training facility because although we spend quite a bit of time in the competition arenas, we are not focused on […]

WE BELIEVE THERE IS A WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH HORSE WITHOUT USING INTIMIDATION OR OTHER HARSH TACTICS TO CREATE A WILLING AND SOFT HORSE. BY BUILDING CONFIDENCE WITHIN THE HORSE AND RIDER WE CAN HELP SET THEM UP FOR SUCCESS NO MATTER THE BREED OR DISCIPLINE!   WILL KUPEC When I was eight years old I asked my mother if I could ride horses.

I wanted more than that, I wanted to figure out why they were bucking and how I could stop it. At this time, […]
