lessons

Debbie is a sincere and sensitive educator who presents concepts to her students through a combination of riding theory, demonstration, and her unique ability to present gymnastic exercises that help create success in the training and show arena. The horse and rider partnership develops and thrives through this systematic approach. Debbie strives toward ensuring that her students gain both a theoretical understanding of the training process and goals, but more importantly, she helps them to realize how the desired results should feel.

Her student base includes dressage, event, and jumper riders of all levels and ages, amateurs as well as professionals. No matter what level the rider or horse, each student is met with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to cultivate their maximum potential. Debbie’s broad base of experience gives her the capacity to present ideas in fresh and meaningful ways for each student.

Private 45-minute lessons are available year-round by appointment at our farm. In addition, Debbie regularly teaches at farms in the Richmond, Charlottesville, and Orange areas. Click here to schedule.

Lessons canceled within less than 24 hours are charged in full.


training

Select horses are accepted for short-term training at our farm, perfect for show preparation, USDF CI mentoring, or more in-depth education for horse and rider. For more information about training, please contact us.

Debbie Bowman Dressage is a leading dressage trainer in the  Orange, VA dressage trainers directory on NewHorse.com.

I want people to understand the reason and purpose for riding the exercises and dressage movements, not just how to execute them. This understanding ensures that the rider will be able to train their horse by following a logical path and will give them knowledge to draw on when difficulties arise.
