Riding Refinery
Re-Define The Way You Ride
As fire refines precious metals by removing impurities, so too does the time tested gymnastic training process of the Old School supples, strengthens, and improves the horse by removing stiffness from the joints and muscles. The trainer tests and refines the horse daily in arena.
“The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.” Proverbs 17:3

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart. Proverbs 17:3
As fire refines precious metals by removing impurities, so too does the trainer refine the horse by daily gymnastic work in the arena.
The time tested gymnastic training process of the Old School improves the horse by imparting mobility to joints, strength to muscles, and refinement to the intellect.
