NSAE teaches people how to train horses in the older French classical style. In the old days dressage was a method to keep a horse sound and sane and supple. This is the old school work. If you're comfortable with natural horsemanship type ideas, you'll be comfortable with the older dressage and you'll see that actually there's a way to work gently that brings out the gorgeous, fluid, well balanced horse that any horse can be.
We train horses for clients, all training clients take lessons. We also have school horses and teach clients who do not yet have their own.
We teach clinics internationally and have riders in from all over the world.
We stable about 12-18 horses at any given time, 5 of them are school horses, the balance horses here for training. Most of the horses in training stay for years, if not decades, as they continuously improve and so do their riders.
Mary Anne Campbell is the primary director of the school,
Craig Stevens is the lead trainer.
