Did you know…that classical equitation in the French tradition is included in the UNESCO list of intangible heritage of humanity!

“The common denominator among riders (in the French tradition) is the desire to establish close relations with the horse, build mutual respect and work towards achieving ‘lightness’.” - (from the UNESCO site)

See Dominique teach this weekend at Barbier Farm to understand more of the guiding principles that allow for compassionate and sustainable horsemanship!

“No matter how light, soft, or balanced you think you are as a rider or trainer, there is always room for improvement. You never stop learning, and you can always go deeper in your knowledge. The quest for lightness is ultimately an endless pursuit.” - Current working student Sarah Serfling
