ABOUT
TRAINING CENTER
The Haras Training Center is located in Magnolia, Texas, just north of Houston, and is now open to outside horses. Since the Hacienda was established 10 years ago, we have been building up an elite equestrian facility. With some of the best footing in the world in multiple arenas, 24/7 care, and access to a team of professional trainers who work together to meet each horse’s individual needs, the Haras Training Center is an ideal place for equestrians.
Dressage Distinction and Unique Clinics
A notable aspect of the Haras Training Center is our dedication to the art of dressage. This discipline demands a symphony of precision, elegance, and unity between horse and rider. We periodically host clinics featuring some of the globe’s most esteemed dressage instructors, presenting our clients with unparalleled chances for growth and learning.
We were honored to host clinics with Charlotte Dujardin and Isabell Werth, two of the most celebrated names in the dressage world. Their expertise and insights provided invaluable learning experiences for both riders and horses. Participants in these clinics gained advanced training techniques, insights into horse psychology, and practical tips that enhanced their performance and understanding of dressage.
Masterclass with Lisa Wilcox
Currently, we are excited to offer a Masterclass with Lisa Wilcox, another luminary in the dressage community. Lisa’s classes are designed to push the boundaries of what horses and riders can achieve together. Her masterclass provides deep dives into advanced dressage concepts, fostering a greater connection between horse and rider and elevating their performance to new heights.
