Joan Myrthue Dressage

I didn't know what my horses were missing until Joan started working with us. My horses loved her. I think they felt her love for them. She taught them a lot. And me too!

Joan is a fabulous horse trainer. My horses are more responsive and listen better after Joan works with them. Everything goes smoother. I would highly recommend Joan as a dressage trainer for your horse.

I had the privilege to be able to take some lessons with Joan a few years ago. To watch Joan with horses is magical, as they know she cares about them and they trust her immediately. I was able to make great progress in my riding and with my horse through her instruction, and she helped make me a very efficient rider and help establish my base to advance. I think anyone lucky enough to be able to either take lessons from her and/or let her train the horse herself would see improvements all around and be more than satisfied with her talents.

Don't let her credentials intimidate you… although Joan Myrthue is an FEI rider and trainer and has toured with the world famous Lipizzaner Stallions, she is incredibly down to earth. She has a talent for making you feel instantly comfortable around her and fosters a fun and rewarding learning environment. Every lesson with Joan is fun, and her sincere love of horses shines through in every interaction.

Whether you're a green beginner or been riding for years, Joan's extensive horse knowledge can help take you to the next level. She has the unique ability to break down movements into little pieces and then builds on that until you understand and can perform them correctly. One thing that really sets Joan apart from other trainers is that she is able to explain the "why" and help you understand how what you're doing translates to the horse. This results in developing a true partnership with the horse, where you are both constantly communicating to each other.

Joan's school horses are happy, beautiful, extremely well trained and a pleasure to learn on. They are sure to steal your heart and have you hooked! Lesson days with Joan are my favorite days of the week, and she consistently makes me feel safe and confident in my riding. I look forward to many more years of continuing to ride and learn from her. Whatever your goals, Joan can help you get there!
