Education

"The teacher opens the door so that the student may see what is on the other side. The student then decides whether to go through the door."

“Sarah has opened Lirica and I to visualize the flow, feel the energy, be ready in placement and body position, and feel it come through. Sarah’s dynamic energy uplifts both to be the best they can be and to expand the relationship to a higher place. ”

-Diane Williams Summerland, British Colombia

Lessons

We believe in providing you with the tools to find your own success, while offering whatever support is needed to attain it. How do you reach higher levels with your horse? That’s what we aim to guide you to. Not with a strict methodology, or a program, but by showing you what it can feel like, by sharing ideas, and experiences.

Bring your horse, ride our school masters, or do both. Come to experience, stay to observe. We love sharing our horses, and the magic that comes with equestrian art.

Currently our team is serving Southern Alberta area for individual lessons. Virtual coaching and remote clinics available for those out of province.

NEW for 2025

Ask about an Immersion Lesson Day - come for a day (or multiple days) and immerse yourself in the academic theory of French Classical Dressage, horse training, bridle horse development and rehabilitation. With so many horses at different levels and experience this can offer a lot of clarity, seeing and feeling the little details.

Virtual Learning

For students looking for a more comprehensive learning experience, opportunities to learn from our team are available online. Students will have the ability to meet with our team members virtually on a regular basis to review recorded sessions with you and your horse. You can also join the community on Patreon - just look for Canadian Equestrian Arts Academy to have access to videos, demos, rehabilitation, training, biomechanics, discussions, and so much more.

 

“Whether you are on one of the horses of CEAA or working with one of your own, Sarah and Caylee have this magical ability to help you feel things that you didn’t even know were possible. They teach with such knowledge, passion, and patience in a safe and caring space, you will definitely want to keep coming back to them.”

-Ashley Shurtz , Raymond, Alberta

“I went to Canada to find out the answers to my “why”. I couldn’t find anyone who truly understood the movement and how to develop it. Lots of people were willing to tell me how it should be done, but without understanding the development, but I wanted to know how to develop the horse correctly. This makes sense to me, you can see how the horse improves, it is all by doing less. Any horse can do it, even the fat pony. Sarah has helped me to understand it isn’t always the horse, you have to work on, it’s you as well.”
