ABOUT ERIN CHASE BLAKE: The South Dallas area presents Erin Blake, instructor,
clinician and trainer. Erin received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Equine
Management at Post University in Waterbury, CT. She received her BHS and IGEQ
Certifications in 1995 at Brinsbury College in West Sussex, England. While abroad in
Europe, Erin had the honor of training under Olympic Gold Medalist, Jennie
Loriston-Clarke. Erin has also trained with Kim Walnes, David Broom, Anna Kingsbury,
Sue Horn, Linda Tellington-Jones, Walter Zettle, Wolfgang May, Jane Savoi and many

Erin believes in the natural intelligence of the horse and the gifts he was born with. She
doesn't teach your horse how to do flying changes or the half pass. Your horse was
born knowing how to perform all the movements required in classical dressage. What
Erin aspires to accomplish in the training of the horse is education. "We educate the
horse on how to perform these instinctual movements on command by the rider. We
educate the horse on how to perfect his gifts through extension and collection. We don't
teach him anything! We educate him about how to do it when we ask and in which gear
we would like it executed." Erin Blake is firm in her classical education and its proven
system. "Classical is a loosely used term these days. If you are truly classically
educated(which takes years of schooling!), the correctness of your riding is based on
the knowledge of Physics, Kinesiology and Biomechanical formula. Classical riders
know how to get responses(not reactions) and without the use of force, but with the use
of skill."
Erin possesses the unique ability to analyze what your horse needs by making subtle
adjustments in your position. Her results are instantaneous. To prove it, your first
lesson is free with the purchase of one of our monthly packages. Erin will help you see
things from your horses perspective, she will teach you how to speak your horses
language with your body. Her approach is very unique and classical. If your in a hurry
and looking for short cuts, this is not the place for you. If you have your horses
happiness and your safety as a priority, you won't be disappointed. Capriole School of
Riding will educate you and satisfy your need to get results and have all the questions
you ever wanted to ask, answered correctly and with patience and kindness.
Erin is often assisted by her son, Kaine Blake, a naturally gifted and talented rider
himself. Kaine often assists in gaining your horses trust and confidence, through
individual hacking on and off the property.
