About

Community . Education . Enlightment.

The Canadian Equestrian Arts Academy was founded by a community of individuals who recognized a need to create a space for people to connect back to themselves and their horses. Through the journey of learning French Classical Dressage, we ourselves found a deeper connection that went beyond the physical aspect of riding.

We found the value in surrounding ourselves with a community of individuals with vastly different backgrounds, working towards a common goal. The Academy provides a safe space for individuals to share ideas, learn, and grow together. With team members spread throughout Western Canada, we take accessibility to another level to meet you where you are at, in whatever capacity.

The team of CEAA is dedicated to preserving and continuing the art of French Classical Dressage. Opportunities to learn these principles from our group of diverse School Masters are like no other. Students can expect to receive a comprehensive and immersive learning experience through the Academy.

 
Dinastia Lusitano and Sarah Southwell


  • Founder

    There are two things you will find when you meet Sarah, horses and a community. The horses are a given, the communities are born from Sarah’s drive to collaborate and expand herself and the people she works with. The result is a highly supportive network that continually elevates one another. Horses are her passion, in all regards, the growth and expansion of the people associated with them is what she thrives on.

Caylee Sparry and Quarter Horse Twiggy

  • Caylee feels what few achieve without guidance. The artistry she expresses through horses is a reflection of the relationships she cultivates with them. She develops an intimacy within the partnership that is only attainable when you ride from the heart, in true partnership. Equestrian Art is Caylee’s artistic expression, introducing people to this world is what makes her heart sing.
