| Chad Basile discovered his love for horses in his early teenage years. He started riding hunter jumpers at a local lesson barn where he soon found a love for training horses and being in the show ring. He has been there ever since.
After many years of instruction from top jumping instructors locally Chad discovered Dressage. He felt Dressage was the ultimate challenge in horse training- a challenge that he was willing to tackle head on! Chad still incorporates all that he learned from his days as a jumper rider into his Dressage training, but has found satisfaction in Dressage that he was not able to find in the other disciplines of horse sport.
Chad utilizes Classical training methods in all his work with horses. He firmly believes in proper seat position as well as utilizing the Training Pyramid as a guide for training horses properly. Chad works carefully to help horses build properly balanced bodies and minds, always putting the needs of the horses first and foremost.
Chad takes his education in Dressage very seriously. He attends clinics as a rider and as an auditor quite frequently. Most recently Chad attended a clinic at Maplewood Warmbloods with Monica Theodorescu and Michael Klimke to learn classical Dressage from the children of the Masters in the field! Chad has ridden in many clinics all over the country with clinicians from all over the world. Last fall Chad organized and rode in a 3 day clinic with David DeWispelaere that was a great success. He takes horses he trains to shows in order to gauge their training progress in the eyes of the judges and other trainers.
Chad has clients in and around Rochester and Buffalo. He gives clinics on weekends while establishing a home base at Sugar Hill Farm in beautiful Victor NY. Please contact Chad through the Sugar Hill website, on Facebook, or via email at Cebasile@aol.com.
Feel free to stop by the farm and visit him in person too.
