Quarter Line Dressage

QLD owner and trainer Marketa Matthews always has the best interests of the horse in mind. Daily turnout on beautiful green pastures make for very happy horses. She moved her business to this new location in August 2014. She lives in an apartment connected to the main barn, and personally checks on the horses multiple times every day.
Marketa specializes in the type of riding known as dressage. The United States Dressage Federation says, «Dressage is a French term meaning „training“ and its purpose is to develop the horse’s natural athletic ability and willingness to work making him calm, supple and attentive to his rider.»
Marketa helps riders to have fun and be safe while learning to get the best performance from their horses, regardless of the horse’s and rider’s fitness and athleticism at the time they start working together. Her calm and patient teaching style builds confidence in both horse and rider.
She has helped me to be a better partner with my horse, and has inspired me to get more fit myself as she brought my horse along in fitness and training. Most exciting is that she has taken me from being terrified of horse showing to looking forward to the next show.
