"...nothing equals the thrill of riding
in perfect harmony with my horse" Sandcastle Farm is owned by Alice Preketes who has ridden since childhood. A successful competitor, instructor, trainer, and breeder of Trakehner horses, she directs the program and oversees the individual plan for each horse and rider. Alice has studied with many well-regarded trainers from Europe and the United States. For 10 years she served on the planning committee for the USDF Violet Hopkins Dressage Instructors’ Seminars. She also is a student of sports psychology, learning styles, personality types, and similar methodologies that allow each horse and each rider to progress according to individual needs. She has synthesized what she has learned into a logical program that helps riders improve their balance, their aids, their feel, their understanding, and subsequently their ability to work with the horse. Under her direction, horses become relaxed, balanced and supple and develop their full potential. This is accomplished in a positive environment of patience and respect for horse and rider. |
