“Strong foundations build confident riders and successful performance horses.”

Redha Gharsa of Pillars Equestrian LLC

Classical Roots

With influences of the Spanish Riding School and his 20 years of experience as the Head Rider of the Lipizzaner Stallion Show and Medieval Times CA, Redha has accomplished the art of classical long lining.

Long lining helps horses understand how to use their body and find a correct connection to the hand without the weight of a rider. It is extremely helpful for young horses and teaching new skills like piaffe and passage.

In addition to training several horses to the FEI/High School level, Redha has coached students to compete at NAYC and to receive their USDFs medals.

From Basics to FEI

Redha’s unique ability to train both horse and rider from introductory to advanced levels is centered on creating a connection with the horse. Through classical dressage training, his horses development balanced strength and harmony with the rider.

"Redha was able to identify the issues we were having in moments and unlocked my mare's full potential. She is much happier. I would recommend Redha wholeheartedly to anyone who loves their horse and wants to improve their riding." Tracy Frasz, Tustin, CA

"Redha is a very proactive instructor. He takes his time and explains the "why" behind every aid given. Redha doesn't let you leave the lesson until you can feel or see your progress. I have reached many goals thanks to Redha.
