We have moved! BC Performance Horses is now based in Canberra

HI, I'M BETH,

DRESSAGE TRAINER, COACH & THE HUMAN BEHIND BC PERFORMANCE HORSES.

I empower horses & riders to start making sustainable progress in their riding by simplifying dressage foundations through lessons, horse training & online programs.

IT'S TIME TO STOP MAKING EXCUSES & UNLOCK YOUR DRESSAGE DREAMS.

GRAB MY FREE GUIDE TO GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR RIDE.

In this free guide, Beth shares the five essential elements that she focusses on as a professional trainer to make consistent progress with every horse she trains.

The guide is available via audio file & PDF.

YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A DREAM...

Yet you find yourself stuck on the same 20 meter circle feeling frustrated, overwhelmed & thinking to yourself: "This riding thing is supposed to be fun right?" 

Good scores & riding at the level you want to be riding at feels unattainable. Instead you tell yourself "I'm not a good enough rider", "I can't compete with the fancy imported warmbloods", "maybe if I was rich"...

it's time to change that.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE THINGS YOU WANT ARE POSSIBLE FOR YOU...

The rules have changed. You don't need to train overseas, import from Europe or have unlimited finances to be able to achieve your dressage dreams.

What you need is good foundational training.

SEBASTIANS TRANSFORMATION.

Sebastian, the Clydie x TB, arrived a green broken 5 year old & left training most of the elementary work.

As you'll see in the first part of  clip, he arrived with no concept of how to balance himself in a forward rhythm, in straightness or through the connection.

By the end of his stay, he was responsive off my forwards aids, able to maintain straightness through a variety of movements & working through the connection.

YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING ABOUT ME...

Ever since I found out you can ride horses as a job, everything I've done has been in pursuit of that dream.

From working for Australian Dressage Legends Matthew Dowsely & Emma Flavelle-Watts to working under some amazing trainers in Germany.

BC Performance Horses is that dream realised.

I believe that every horse & rider are capable of developing correct foundations & producing work that can score well.

I believe that you can achieve these things by building your horses confidence instead of using fear or force.

To me there is no better feeling than when it all just clicks for the horse I'm training or the rider I'm coaching.

That's why I do this.

SONJA'S TRANSFORMATION.

When Sonja brought her Warmblood Night for their first lesson she was struggling.

She was struggling with her belief in her abilities which had a paralysing affect on her confidence while struggling to get her horse forward, straight, connected or any of the basic elements.

Through consistent lessons Sonja has been able to train Night to work forward, straight & connected in walk, trot and canter!

She now feels confident in what she needs to do to pursue her goals which allows her to enter each ride with a plan.
