SFS Dressage, Paradise

Scott is always a thoughtful and inspiring teacher, and we are honored that he returns to Paradise, TX multiple times a year to share his knowledge!

He has such a positive, fair, and kind approach to training and somehow simplifies everything. This is super helpful if you tend to overcomplicate things.

FEI World Cup

The FEI Dressage World Cup™ Finals are coming to Fort Worth, and we’re gathering our Dressage for All community to learn, connect, and experience it together.

Amelia Newcomb will be hosting a series of free, in-person sessions designed to help you get more out of the World Cup — whether that means understanding top-level riding more clearly, improving your rider position and your own training at home, or simply spending time with fellow riders who love this sport as much as you do.

All sessions are free, but space is VERY limited and an RSVP is required. This ensures you receive schedule updates, reminders, and important event details as they’re finalized. Come for one session or join us for the whole weekend — we can’t wait to welcome you.
