At Wynbrook Equestrian Centre, we take pride in our dedication to equestrian excellence. Our passion for horses is only outnumbered by our passion for the art of riding. We believe that each rider is unique, bringing their strengths, weaknesses, goals, and dreams to the saddle. As such, it is our mission to provide them with the skills and training required to excel in their pursuits. Our approach to teaching is uniquely tailored to every rider's needs; this is how we do it.

Defining Our Approach: At the Heart of Each Rider's Aspirations

Our journey begins with understanding the rider's aspirations. Are you seeking to master the basics of horseback riding, or are you a seasoned rider aiming to compete at a national level? As a premier riding school in Ottawa, we cater to all levels of riders. From the fundamentals of balance, control, and rhythm to the more advanced techniques of the Hunter/Jumper disciplines, we ensure that our riders receive a well-rounded education in horse riding.

Creating the Training Program: Personalization at Its Finest

Each rider’s journey at Wynbrook is unique. Once your aspirations and skills are evaluated, our experienced trainers craft a personalized training program. The program outlines the steps required to move you closer to your goals, including the techniques you need to master, the strengths you need to enhance, and the weaknesses you need to address. This meticulous approach provides a clear path towards your equestrian dreams.

Implementing the Plan: Lessons Tailored to Your Needs

Upon crafting your training program, it’s time to translate it into action. We offer both group and private lessons, hence matching your preferred learning environment. You are assigned a horse that best suits your current abilities and aspirations. This ensures an optimal learning experience as you share a bond with a horse that understands and complements your strengths and weaknesses. 

Our lessons are meticulously structured to guide you gradually towards your goals. Starting with complete safety instructions and warm-up exercises, we then move on to practicing the skills outlined in your training program.

Monitoring Progress: A Continuous Learning Journey

At Wynbrook, your journey does not end after mastering a technique or achieving a goal. We believe in constant growth and progress. Our trainers continuously assess your performance and update your training program based on your evolving skills and ambitions. This keeps you challenged yet confident and ensures that your progress continues unabated.

Our Trainers: Your Partners in the Journey

Our trainers play a crucial role in personalizing your riding training. With extensive experience in the equestrian world, they share valuable insights and provide constant feedback to help you grow. Their commitment extends beyond just teaching riding skills; they aim to develop a strong partnership based on trust and respect with you and your horse. 

Ashton Belcher, our Show Team Coach and Head Trainer, is a prominent example. With an impressive international resume as a rider, trainer, and coach, Ashton’s approach is centred on building a correct foundation for the horses and riders. Her emphasis on proper equitation and horsemanship ensures that our riders are well-equipped both on the horse and in the stable.
