Dessia enjoys teaching immensely. She will not take on large groups outside of a clinic atmosphere, wanting her students to get the maximum attention for their dollar. Lessons are based on good common sense geared towards whatever level of rider you are. From beginners to more advanced riders, she will give you the skills to control and enjoy your horse to the maximum. Dessia coaches Hunt seat, Saddle Seat, Western and driving. Dessia is coached herself by FEI Dressage Judge, Sue Rothgeb, so her skills continue to grow and be passed onto her students.

Training includes board with maximum turnout times. Sessions are focused, yet fun and  constructive for the horse. They are about 20-30 minutes long taking maximum advantage of a horse's short attention span. Weekly trail rides are part of their training once started under saddle. Owners are encouraged to be as much a part of the training as they can manage, with weekly lessons included. References available.
