SFP Presents a Masterclass Like No Other!
Robert Dover and Alizée Froment: Dressage at the Intersection of Sport and Art
October 31 – November 1, 2026 at The Horse Park at Woodside, California
Discover how the psychological, physical, and emotional ways that horses think and react naturally support dressage training and performance, so that love and care create the foundation for training every horse to become their very best.
Emphasizing that Dressage is defined as training, six-time Olympian Robert Dover and international liberty trainer Alizée Froment combine decades of experience to demonstrate how the intersection of the sport and the art of dressage is essential to its future.
Presented by the San Francisco Peninsula Chapter of the California Dressage Society on October 31 to November 1, 2026, at The Horse Park at Woodside, this world-class equestrian educational event takes masterclass participants and audience on a deep dive into creating the horse every rider wants to have, and the rider every horse deserves.
