Dressage Training Lessons Queenswood Stables
“I like the horses and instructors at Queenswood because they help me and make learning fun. Everyone is nice and
always willing to help me. The camps are fun because I get to ride twice a day, do arts and crafts and spend time with friends and horses. The instructors help me reach my goals to become a better rider."

“I started riding at Queenswood Stables with my two young girls as I wanted a safe pace for them to learn and somewhere I could re-enter the riding world.  What I love most about Queenswood is that I can watch extremely talented riders and horses do incredible dressage movements (it truly is like watching a ballet on horseback!) but I am watching my daughters grow as riders in a supportive, non competitive environment. Don't get me wrong, there is definitely a very competitive force at the barn, but I don't feel pressured to join in but do know that I am welcome to participate.

For me, as someone who has been riding for over 20 years, I am continuously challenged and learning. The dressage world is new to me. It's also my chance to 'get away' and return to a place that binds everyone at Queenswood ... A place where everyone loves horses, wants to improve as athletes and is encouraged to learn new things. The Queenswood community, from the international calibre athletes to the first time riders, has been a truly wonderful place for my girls and to grow." - Manjit Kerr-Upal
