The Music of Connection

SHARON — Bettina Drummond, French Classical dressage trainer and Olympic Coach, performed exquisite maneuvers to live music. This equestrian art was originally used to train horses for war — to sustain and prevail in the chaos of combat. Each step, burst of speed, change in elevation or direction is communicated through imperceptible signals from the human to the horse with the kind of mutual trust that one only finds among fellow warriors on the battlefield.   

We are honored to have had Ms. Drummond perform at our event. Bettina has studied with world class masters of classical riding in France and Portugal.  She has coached Olympic equestrians and trained hundreds of men and women who recognize the value of discipline, time, and endless practice to perfect the art of riding in complete harmony with and respect for one’s horse
