Although individual accomplishments measure the equestrian sport, we promote a supportive team environment at Belle Wood Equestrian. We focus on proper and efficient rider development, with our coaches working with our lesson clientele to build a solid foundation in equitation and horsemanship. We establish goals with our clients and work towards the result, whether that is to compete amongst Ontario’s best or feel comfortable in the saddle. We have something for everyone at Belle Wood!

A lesson staff member assists all lesson students in the grooming and tacking up both before and after their lessons. Belle Wood utilizes this time to further our student's education in horsemanship and the importance of before and after care for their equine partners.
