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 SO needed to hear today's past/ present/ future....Yesterday we had a HORRIBLE ride...When I recognized how badly things were going, I slowed everything down and worked on little things like balanced/ square halts, w/t transitions, leg yields...Thanks for the reminder...I will take a deep breath and remember this is all part of the process." - Beth

"Iโ€™m loving these little โ€œshortsโ€ everyday. Itโ€™s causing me to put more โ€œthoughtโ€ into riding rather than mechanically fixing a problem and moving on to the next." -Evie

Annnnd the 2025 GA Clinic Series is a wrap!

We missed a few "regulars" that couldn't make it, but enjoyed those who were able to come, including a few new ones!

So thankful for the people who trust me and come and work hard in their lessons! And thankful to the horses for giving us all the opportunity โค๏ธ!

Thank you, Keri, for all the organizing, juggling of things and just overall being a great host!

Photos: I don't have many pictures from the weekend, but here are two: two green horses coming along so nicely with their people. Love seeing the progress they are making!!

When the arena is a bit too soft for heavy work from the rain and snow, and it's cold anyway...throw the ba****ck pad on and go for a little collected canter ๐Ÿ˜Š!

The big news! We're joining ๐ŸŽ‰

I have an old saddle that I love, but I bought it used and it's not getting any younger; I knew I needed to find a new saddle. So, I started looking and found some nice options, but Caxi is my sounding board and he didn't like them quite as much as my old saddle.

My old saddle is a Forestier, and it just made sense: I decided to find and reach out to the local contact, Polly Forestier Sellier, and the rest is history! She looked up my old saddle and it's 30 years old! A selling point in itself that horses still love it and it's still in good condition!

I'm looking forward to working with such an experienced team and to be able to share and represent the brand I've already been loving! I am big on getting sponsorships that I would choose whether sponsored or not, like One K Helmets!

My new saddle will be arriving soon and we'll be onward and upward on this exciting journey โค๏ธ!

Thank you Forestier for this opportunity!

Shout out to Bruce McNeill of Barefoot Movement for always doing a great job on Caxi's feet!

Sharing this video from finals as there's a glimpse of a buckskin pirouette highlighting the hooves...happens to be the golden boy ๐Ÿ’›.

Caxi's first Grand Prix season is a wrap! What a special Golden Boy! We qualified for Regionals, we made it to Regionals and then we were one of 4 Lusitanos in the GP Finals Championship!! Pretty cool!

There is so much to work on in the GP test. We didn't have 15 one tempis at the beginning of the year and have worked hard on not just getting them, but gaining more symmetry, straightness and ground cover in them.

As things like the changes become easier, I can focus more on strengthening the piaffe and passage. It is all a balancing act of what you work on and when. As we close out the 2025 year I am both so pleased with Caxi and so excited for the work ahead of us ๐Ÿ’›.

Thank you to his wonderfully supportive owner, Mariada George, for believing in the sweet, golden stallion and for having me guide him.

Thanks to our sponsor, One K Helmets, for the safe, comfortable and matching (also important ๐Ÿ˜„) helmet! And keep an eye out for a post on our newest sponsorship - so excited to reveal and share it ๐ŸŽ‰!
