ABOUT SEVEN HILLS TRAINING
Classical, biomechanics-based training for sound, balanced, and rideable horses
At Seven Hills Training, we blend classical dressage, biomechanics, and horsemanship to develop horses that move freely and riders who can support them with balance, clarity, and feel. Our programs are designed to build the correct foundation, develop strength and straightness, and support clear progression through the levels.
Whether starting a young horse, rebuilding after injury, or advancing your training, our individualized programs create the foundation for long-term soundness, confidence, and connection.
Located just minutes from downtown Monroe, our private eight-acre facility offers a quiet, focused environment for both performance and recovery. Spacious stalls, all-weather turnout, and full-sized indoor and outdoor arenas support year-round training. Each horse receives individualized care and a management plan tailored to their needs—whether rebuilding after injury, developing through the levels, or maintaining top performance.

LESSONS
Private lessons help riders develop balance, feel, and clear communication with their horse. Using biomechanics and classical dressage principles, we improve the rider’s position, enhance correct movement, and build confident, effective partnerships. Lessons are available on your horse (haul-ins permitted), on a lesson horse, or virtually through video evaluation.
TRAINING
Our full and partial training programs are tailored to each horse’s physical and mental development. Through classical dressage, biomechanics, and groundwork, we build strength, balance, and relaxation to support lasting progress and confidence under saddle. Contact us for current openings and program recommendations.
REHABILITATION
Our rehabilitation program helps horses recovering from injury, illness, or time off regain strength, restore healthy movement, and rebuild confidence. In partnership with Kinetic Equine Medicine, each plan may include therapeutic exercise, in-hand work, and ridden rehabilitation to support soundness and a safe return to work.
WORKSHOPS & CLINICS
We offer workshops, clinics, and educational events focused on biomechanics, horse development, and classical training. Partnering with leading clinicians and equine professionals, we help riders deepen understanding, improve movement, and build clearer communication between horse and rider.
We believe horses and riders make the most progress when training builds clarity, confidence, and understanding—not tension or force. Our approach combines classical principles, biomechanics, and a respect for the horse’s well-being to create lasting results and true partnership.
CLASSICAL DRESSAGE PRINCIPLES
Our work follows a clear, gymnastic progression that builds strength, balance, and relaxation. By developing each layer in the proper order, horses advance with confidence through the levels.
BIOMECHANICS-BASED TRAINING
We develop correct movement and posture to reduce bracing, prevent compensation, and support long-term soundness. When the body works the way it was designed, progress becomes clearer and more sustainable.
HORSE-FIRST, WELFARE-CENTERED
We listen to the horse and prioritize relaxation, balance, understanding, and fairness. This creates willing partners who feel safe, confident, and ready to learn.
REHABILITATION EXPERTISE
With a deep understanding of movement dysfunction, we help horses recover from injury or chronic tension through thoughtful conditioning, in-hand work, and correct ridden development.
TESTIMONIALS
The greatest measure of our work is the progress our clients feel in the saddle and in their horses
Kyra's ground-up approach made all the difference, and I now have a horse who's not only calm and levelheaded but also eager to work.

Kyra showed me how small changes in my position could make a big difference in my horse’s movement. We’re both more relaxed and connected now.
