Megan Compton Dressage
The Program
From young horse raising, starting under saddle, OTTB restarting, problem solving, instruction/coaching,
campaigning and sales, and everything in between!
With a solid foundation built on the principles of natural horsemanship and classical dressage, Megan has formulated a tried and true program at THEA to help every horse progress in a methodical way. There is no rushing the process here, as every horse sets their own timeline for the desired result. We work the program and allow the process to take root in each horse to develop at their own pace.


The Young Horse And
Starting Under Saddle Programs
Whether you're looking for a safe place to raise a weanling and getting ready for the next step in their career, the raising program at The Happy Equine Athlete focuses on developing a partnership mindset while keeping your youngster proud of who they are to keep that spark in the arena. Once beginning the under saddle process, your horse will get to experience all the exposure to the aids and develop the confidence to carry a rider successfully into any arena
OTTB restarting and
Problem Solving Programs
With several years experience, the programs at THEA give the OTTB and/or troubled horses the confidence and emotional regulation to handle the stimulus of daily barn life as well as the tools needed to take the same capacity to shows, clinics, and trail rides.

Instruction/Coaching
Let me help you connect the dots from training to competing, develop more confidence, give you more exercises to be able to work more specifically with your horse in an effective way to accomplish your goals. We can work together on-site at HVF, through a virtual portal, or
I'm available for clinics.
