Dressage 2B Shore Overview
The following is a quick overview of the services offered by Dressage 2B Shore and its owner/operator Linda Shore
English & Western Dressage
Linda offers training for horses and riders in conventional dressage (english) and western dressage from beginner to Grand Prix level.
Correct dressage training which is based on horses travelling in a balanced, uncontracted/relaxed and symmetrical posture is the underlying basis for any discipline the rider wants to do and this is what Linda bases her training for horses and riders on.
For us it doesn't matter the style of equipment you ride in, dressage training based on this principal covers them all.
Working Equitation
Working Equitation is a relatively new sport in Australia and is still quite young worldwide. It was first established in European countries of Portugal and Spain as a way of showcasing their working horses.
It is a 4 phase discipline with the first 3 phases of dressage, style obstacles and speed obstacles being compulsory to ride and the 4th phase of Cattle work (team penning) being optional for riders.
Working Equitation is currently the main competition focus for Linda, it gives a rider something to do with all that quality dressage training and really helps to develop a fabulous partnership with your horse.
Linda is one of the leading working equitation riders and trainers in Australia and has competed at all Australian levels of Working Equitation from Introductory to Masters. Linda has also won Queensland State championships at Preliminary, Deubtante F, Consagrados 1 & 2 and Masters. She is also the 2022 Consagrados 2 and Masters National Champion.

Every horse we breed, raise, train, rehabilitate helps teach us new skills and tools and it is important to be able to quickly assess the learning style of each horse and it's core requirements to help each horse be the best it can be.

We accept horses inhouse for training, competition and sale preparation. We only have a small number of places for client horses in house at any one time, which means your horse gets a lot of attention while it is here.
