Passion. Dedication. Insight.
Thank you for visiting and learning about us!
David Donnelly of French Light Dressage trains classical and competitive dressage horses and riders from start through all movements of the Haute Ecole and Grand Prix. His training philosophy emphases the processes of Francois Baucher’s second manner to achieve lightness and self-carriage. “Aids are meant to create, transform, restore, but never maintain what a horse is doing.” David’s lifelong passion to uncover the nuances in classical training has led to a fresh approach in training and teaching both horse and rider.
We provide personalized training programs for horse and rider where we put the welfare, soundness, and happiness of the horse first. Under David’s instruction, students learn to both ride and train. Our goals here are to support horse and rider holistically, so that each can reach their full potential. We are located in the scenic foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Carolinas, and offer training, instruction, clinics, and sales. Please explore our website, and call to learn more about our programs and services. We look forward to supporting you, and learning more your horse, and how we can help accomplish your goals.
