Western Dressage Association of America Train the Trainers Program
Train the Trainers™ clinics were established by the Western Dressage Association of America in early 2012. Intense national and international demand led Frances Carbonnel and Cliff Swanson, to begin the development of a training curriculum which addressed the needs of equine professionals who were interested in training their horses and clients about Western Dressage.
Western Dressage is a synthesis of two worlds; it is the need to understand this synthesis that drives the Train the Trainers™ program. Professionals from a traditional dressage background leave the clinic understanding more about western horses, their movements and gaits and tack. Western professionals are able to observe classical dressage principles demonstrated on a variety of western horses. The interface between both types of participants is one of most rewarding parts of the program.
