Whether you are just starting out in Dressage at Introductory level (walk & trot) or working towards Grand Prix, I am happy to help you improve. It is important to start out with correct basics; I feel that I can help lower level riders greatly improve their riding. I also enjoy working with ALL BREEDS, particularly the Baroque-type horses: Andalusians, Friesians, Lusitanos, Lipizzans, Morgans, etc. Many of my clients also ride Quarter Horses, draft horses, ponies, Gypsies, Arabs, Thoroughbreds, Halfingers....you name it! Every horse is a unique puzzle and EVERY horse can be improved with correct Dressage work, no matter what breed. I also work with western riders that are interested in learning western dressage, trail riders who want better balance, and event riders that want to improve their dressage scores.

I have worked with Sandra for several years and it still amazes me the immediate connection she makes with any horse she comes in contact with. Her classical approach makes lessons fun and informative. She clearly explains what she is teaching and the desired outcome. Just making me aware of how I use my body (seat and leg) and the effect it has on my horse has changed my horse’s performance tremendously. Surely explains why my horse now moves more forward and free! Thank you for continually coming to CT. We love you!

I have attended several of Sandra’s clinics at Horse Gait Stables and have been so impressed by her positive and empowering approach. Her ability to work with riders at all levels and find that one (or more!) positive thing to build on is a rare gift. Her relaxed teaching style and corresponding results are a pleasure to watch!

Sandra, thanks for coming to Crown and Shield stables and providing all of us with an exceptional day of instruction. I loved your easy going spirit and intimate dialogue with each of the students, and as a fellow rider and parent , I learned so much just by listening and watching each lesson. I love your web site and designs as well. Thanks again for a delightful day!
— Crystal Guerrette
It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to receive such helpful and insightful instruction from you after our dressage test. It was our first show ever for both my mare and I so to be able to add a lesson was certainly a highlight to the day. What a learning experience! Very inspired. Thank you.

There was one comment Sandra made to me when we first met that some trainers force them (the horse) into the bridle and some allow! I now have seen and learned the difference ! I THANK U & so do my PONIES!

Just back from a training session at the barn and am blown away by the tremendous work I saw from Kelsey and Bruizer as a result of their lesson last week with Sandra Beaulieu! WOW! Everything they were taught came into play and they looked so great in the doing! Thank you, Sandy — so very much!

Sandra has been coming to my farm for a few years now. Her teaching style and expertise is absolutely amazing. Her knowledge and passion for horses and horse training is shown in how she works with the horses or horse and rider. She has an amazing natural talent for both teaching horse and rider. I look forward to each time she comes to the farm and what I can learn from her. Sandra is a true inspiration to me and my business and I am so thankful for her mentoring and friendship.

Just want to shout out a thank you to Sandra Beaulieu for her help in taking my riding to the next level. Not only have my lessons been awesome, but she also leaves me with doable exercises for when I’m by myself. Just had two great rides in a row on Pepper working on “hard” stuff.
