DEVELOPING THE COMPLETE EQUINE ATHLETE
Correct movement is the foundation for everything else
At Seven Hills, we work to develop horses that are balanced, adaptable, and correctly conditioned. We bring classical dressage and modern biomechanics together to support clear communication and quality movement.
From starting young horses to rebuilding after injury, every program is shaped around the horse’s individual history, way of going, and physical requirements.
Seven Hills offers full-care board and dressage training at our private facility in Monroe, Washington, for horse owners throughout Puget Sound. With your horse based here, training continues between your visits, so you don’t need to make the trip for every session. Haul-in training sessions are also available by appointment.
MORE THAN MOVEMENTS
Dressage is not just about flashy movements; it’s about developing and improving the horse’s mechanics. By teaching the horse to carry themselves with better alignment and balance, we build strength, resilience, and a more sustainable way of going.
No shortcuts. No force. Just correct, progressive work.
OUR APPROACH
We look at the horse’s movement, strength, experience, and confidence, and how those factors are influencing the work. We also take a complete history to understand any behavioral patterns, compensatory movement, or gaps in training.
We develop rhythm, straightness, balance, coordination, and postural strength before asking for more. Just as importantly, we make sure the horse understands what we’re asking and feels confident in the work.
As the horse becomes stronger and more capable, we gradually increase the workload while introducing new skills and concepts. We continue to build on what the horse has learned, with comfort, clarity, and long-term development in mind.
