CPW Equine Development

CPW Equine Development I train horses in a well rounded manner that includes work in hand, long lining and ridden work. I do all general training, with a focus in dressage.

Cedar has been a dedicated student of the horse for over 20 years, and though she has a well rounded base of experience, her main focus has been in the art of dressage. She studied for 15 years under master horseman, JP Giacomini, who was a student of Mestre Nuno Oliveira. The work she does with horses develops healthy biomechanics, relaxation and mental well-being to start horses from the beginni

ng, and to advance them to upper level movements such as piaffe, passage and flying changes. In conjunction with this, she helps people learn how their own biomechanics can help bring out the best in their equine partners. She teaches in a way that gives both horses and humans the building blocks of understanding so they can be set up for success at each new step. No matter the saddle or discipline, the main focus is correct, progressive training that translates into horses being prepared for the questions we ask. Cedar has been a clinician at the SEE, competed in RRP TB Makeovers, won the ILHA Festival FS in 2019 and has done performances of upper level dressage while riding bridleless. In 2018 she started to compete at rated dressage shows and made it to USDF Dressage Finals three consecutive years at the Grand Prix level. She has earned her USDF gold medal and gold freestyle bar. She also competes in western dressage at 5th Level, the highest level currently offered. Competition is not the main objective, but she enjoys the goals and milestones competing offers. Cedar is available for lessons, training sessions, clinics and consultations.

I'm just glad I didn't have to go pasture searching for it 🤣.

The difference between the left and right of the line is like 🥵↔️🥶.

Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration, but not by much! Being able to work out of the sun makes such a difference!! Thankful for the facilities (and great care!) at Kelly Curry's K Bar C Ranch!

My full training horses are giving me some pretty good "through the ears" views ♥️!

I only take 3 full training horses at a time so that I can continue to keep up with all of my local lessons and partial training horses.

If you're interested in sending a horse to me, reach out, let's chat about your goals, what the horse is up to and what kind of plan we can put together!

Next training opening will be in September, so go ahead and reach out now if you want to secure the spot!

Something that makes me choose photos from shows is when I can "feel" the energy just looking at a photo, and I can sure feel the energy from these two powerful boys ❤️!

I am so grateful to have two amazing Lusitanos to develop, prepare and present in the show ring.

Thank you to owners Julie Roche and Mariada George for the opportunity!

Lisa Michelle Dean Photography caught the 💪 photos!

This guy, the sweet and regal Piropo, was with me for full training last year for several months. After he went back home I've had the privilege to continue working with him in a partial training capacity.

It was nice to get back out into the show ring with him in June and earn our qualifying scores for Regionals at Third level!

Looking forward to the continuing journey with him and I so appreciate Julie Roche for the faith and support!

Photo cred to Lisa Michelle Dean Photography!

Look at this handsome boy captured by the amazing Lisa Michelle Dean Photography! Lisa and her crew do such a good job capturing the moments and getting quality photos for us!

Thank you to the MidSouth Eventing and Dressage Association - Dressage at the Park Show for the June show that went well despite the weather challenges (massive KY rain/flooding!!)!

Thanks to Bruce McNeill for the barefoot hoof care!

And huge thanks to the ones who make it possible: Mariada George and the golden boy💛.

Caxi finished collecting his qualifying scores at this show and is set to step into the ring at Regional Championships in the Intermediate 2, Grand Prix, and Grand Prix Freestyle!
