The Riding Refinery has no fixed address. The methodology travels – to your facility, to your screen, or to a clinic host near you. Every service is built on the same foundation: the principles of the Mikolka Method, applied honestly and always in service of the horse. Choose the format that fits your situation and your horse.
Classical dressage instruction brought directly to your facility. Available within a 70-mile radius of Greenfield, New Hampshire, subject to facility management approval. If you have a suitable arena and a willing horse, the work can begin.
Classical instruction delivered wherever you and your horse are. No travel required – only a willing rider, a camera, and a reliable connection. Remote sessions are real-time, interactive, and built on the same methodology as in-person work.
Short-format intensives built around the Mikolka Method – bringing four centuries of Old School classical horsemanship directly into your arena. Clinics are booked selectively and hosted at approved facilities. The Riding Refinery is currently scheduling clinics at Willowbrook Farm Equestrian Center in Plainfield, New Hampshire.
The therapeutic application of classical equine work – using the rhythmic, multisensory demands of riding to stimulate neuroplasticity and support neuro-rehabilitation – is among the most meaningful work the Riding Refinery does. It is also the most carefully considered.
This program is not open enrollment. It is offered on a case by case basis to a small number of families whose situation, goals, and circumstances are a genuine fit for what this work can provide. An initial conversation is the starting point for every inquiry – not a form, not a waitlist, but a real exchange about your family member's history, needs, and what the horses might be able to offer. If you believe this work might be right for someone you love, reach out. The conversation is free and there is no obligation. We will be honest with you about whether this is a fit.
Our self-paced online courses bring the same methodology to riders who cannot work with us in person. Structured modules, video content, and exercises you can take directly to the arena. Work through them on your own schedule, at your own pace, with the freedom to return to any module as your training develops.
Every horse is different. Every rider arrives with a different history. If you are not sure which service fits your situation, a free consultation is the right first step. We will listen first and make a recommendation second.
