Looking for professional, sympathetic training for your horse?
At Pen-Lyn Lusitanos in Wales, UK, we offer tailored horse training programmes rooted in classical dressage principles. Our approach focuses on patience, consistency and correct development, ensuring each horse is trained in a way that supports both performance and long-term wellbeing.
We work with a variety of breeds and levels, from young horses just starting their education to more advanced horses progressing through the levels of dressage.
Whether your goal is to build a solid foundation, improve rideability, or develop advanced movements, we create a training programme suited to your horse’s individual needs.
Every horse is trained using the same methods and principles we apply to our own. We prioritise:
Correct basics and balance
Progressive, pressure-free training
Building strength, confidence and understanding
Classical dressage foundations at every stage
Our aim is to produce horses that are not only capable, but willing, relaxed and enjoyable to ride.
Backing and Schooling
We start young horses carefully, giving them a calm and confident introduction to ridden work. For more established horses, we offer schooling to improve way of going, responsiveness and overall performance from basic dressage up to advanced Grand Prix movements.
Training and Competition
We can compete with your horse on your behalf, helping them gain valuable competition experience or showcasing their potential in a dressage environment.
Competition Support
We can attend competitions with you, offering guidance, coaching and support to help you and your horse perform with confidence.
