Mind tension ➡️ body tension. And tension needs to be expressed. Let them express it.

Muscle tension only has one fix and that is movement.

I’ve ridden down centerline on more breeds than I can probably remember.

Gypsy Vanners. PREs. Lusitanos. Quarter Horses. Arabians. Warmbloods. Shire crosses. Friesians and Friesian crosses. Akhal-Tekes. OTTBs. Harness horses. Irish Sport Horses. Paints. Missouri Fox Trotters. Saddlebreds…

And I’m sure I’m forgetting a few.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of riding and training more than 200 horses.
And every single one has taught me something.

That is one of the reasons I believe so strongly that dressage is for every horse. Dressage isn’t about having the “right” breed. It’s about helping a horse become stronger, more balanced, more supple, more confident, and better able to understand their rider.

Some horses are naturally built for certain movements. Some make you work harder to find the answer. Some completely change the way you think about training. And all of them have something to offer.

I would never turn down a horse simply because of its breed.
Give me the horse in front of me. Let me learn how they think, how they move, what makes them confident, and what helps them understand.

That’s where the real training begins. Different breeds. Different bodies. Different personalities. Same goal: A happy, healthy horse who understands their job and enjoys working with their rider.

What breeds have YOU ridden down centerline?

We have a few rare spots opening in October at Deirdre Dressage in North Austin, and I wanted to let you know before they are gone. Feel free to share with those who might be a good fit as well!

Our program is built for riders who want more than a place to keep their horse. We are a full-service boarding and training facility with a strong focus on correct foundations, ethical care, and helping each horse and rider develop with purpose. Fancy words, yes. But the point is simple: we want the horses happy, the riders educated, and the work done correctly.

At Deirdre Dressage, you have access to:

Full-service boarding
Staff on site
Lighted dressage arena
Lighted jumper arena
Gallop fields with hills
Turnout
Hot and cold wash racks
Large tack-up area and lockers
Trailer parking
Theraplate, Bemer blanket, red light therapy, equine massage, PEMF, and monthly vet/chiropractor visits
An equestrian gym
Hosted shows, team events, and a real barn community
Digital appointments, contracts, invoices, and payments because paperwork should not require a second career.

We also have a strong group of trainers available across disciplines:

Deirdre Sabo-Frary — Dressage
International competitor, USDF Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medalist, and the lead of our dressage program. Deirdre’s work is rooted in correct training, clear basics, and a horse-first approach. The goal is not just to make things look impressive for five seconds. The goal is to build something that lasts. Deirdre is also a Master Personal Trainer and Nutritionist with the International Sports Science Association and offers training sessions in our equestrian gym.

Guen Holden — Hunter/Jumper
Guen brings a strong foundation in traditional hunt seat equitation, horsemanship, and thoughtful instruction. Her program teaches riders not only what to do, but why it works.

Barrett Diehl — Eventing and Equine Sports Massage
Barrett is a USEA Certified Instructor, Pony Club graduate, USDF Bronze and Silver Medalist, upper-level eventing competitor, experienced barn manager, and Certified Equine Sports Massage Therapist. She brings a practical, well-rounded eye to both horse and rider.

Melissa Lester — Vaulting and Working Equitation
Melissa coaches Mythic Vaulters, giving riders the chance to build confidence, body awareness, strength, and balance in a team-focused environment. It is a wonderful option for riders who want to grow their horsemanship in a different way.

Paige Seymour — Horse Training
Paige adds another valuable training option for the horses in our program. Deirdre personally uses her to start the young horses and put a solid base on her horses. If you are looking for someone to classically start your horse or put experience miles on your horse. Paige is your trainer.

Whether your goals are dressage, jumping, eventing, vaulting, working equitation, showing, building confidence, or simply giving your horse a better day-to-day program, this is a place where the work matters and the horse comes first.

These October openings do not come around often, and we are careful about who we bring into the barn. Because the right fit matters.

If you are interested in joining us, reply to this post (or message us) and tell us a little about you, your horse, and what you are looking for.

We would love to see if this is the right place for you.

We are hiring a dressage groom.

Monday through Friday. No stall cleaning.

Yes, you read that correctly. No stalls. Take a moment if you need to.

We are looking for someone reliable, kind, detail-oriented, and comfortable handling horses in a professional dressage program. Duties include getting horses tacked and untacked, keeping them show ready, and helping with therapies such as Theraplate, BEMER, Magna Wave, and red light.

Groundwork and riding may be available for the right person, but they are not required. If you want to stay on the ground and avoid testing your life choices before coffee, that is perfectly acceptable.

Summer hours start early because Texas is trying to kill us. Mondays are self-paced with no riding.

There may be occasional show grooming opportunities, but travel is not required. That said, we do have a good time when we travel. Mostly because horse people become oddly entertaining when sleep-deprived and living out of a tack trunk.

We are located in North Austin, Texas, in Hutto, right on the Hutto/Georgetown line.

Must have reliable transportation. Must like horses. Must understand that “show ready” means more than “technically not muddy.”

Message us if you are interested or know someone who might be a good fit.
