Pierre has such a gift of being able to see exactly what the horse and rider need. 
The learning and riding experience is wonderful, but most importantly, Pierre's teaching methods give you the understanding and tools to accomplish and practice on your own.

Training with Pierre is unparalleled. His approach to training is systematic, yet tailored precisely to each individual horse and rider.
Immediate results are achieved during each training session which leaves the student exhilarated and eager to perfect the discipline.

Within a few minutes of watching Pierre Cousyn give my wife a Dressage lesson, I knew that I would want his help so that my horse Comet (a Quarter horse/Paint) and I could both improve. I knew we could both use general horsemanship lessons, and I also wanted us to improve in our sport of Cowboy Mounted Shooting.
Within a short period of time, Pierre had Comet and me communicating far better between us, and I was understanding for the first time what was happening when things were going well on a particular day, and what was needed for both horse and rider when things weren't going as well.  Pierre's "back to basic" approach was exactly what the two of us needed, and I've seen dramatic results in control, smoothness and responsiveness since the two of us have been in training with Pierre. Whether your equestrian activities involve Dressage, Cowboy Mounted Shooting or any other horse activity, my personal experience tells me that Pierre Cousyn can quickly help any rider to effectively and enjoyably find the proper answers.

Pierre has an incredible talent to quickly identify underlying causes for tension between the horse and rider and is able to explain solutions with an easy to understand "how" as well as "why", with both kindness and patience. The happiness of the horse is of the utmost priority and creates a new found harmony between the horse and rider, which makes everyday training a true joy. The focus is on relaxation, trust and correct training. His passion for the horses  makes him a joy to watch ride and teach.

Pierre Cousyn is a very special Coach and Trainer; and I put the two together because he teaches you to train your horse, and to think about your riding as an analysis of how to help your horse better understand what it is you are asking of him/her, and how to aide them through exercises both physical and mental; to progress through the most important foundation steps of REAL  dressage - towards their best.

He makes you a true horseman in every sense of the word; and never cheats or fools you or himself about what is really going on and how to best address it. I hope more Dressage friends and colleagues take the opportunity to avail themselves of his exceptional gifts, their horses will be thanking them for it.

Since training with Pierre my mare Mona has made more progress in a very short time than she has under any trainer over the past four years. I like Pierre's classical no-nonsense approach, geared specifically to each horse and each lesson.

After every lesson I "ride" away feeling great about myself and the progress my partner Mona and I have made - ready to do our homework and excited for the next lesson. Thank you Pierre, you have really helped us tremendously!!! - Sandy

Pierre Cousyn is a breath of fresh air in the dressage world.

While many other trainers focus on show scores, Pierre's training emphasizes basics and correctness. With his help, my thoroughbred went from tense,  upside-down, and behind-the-leg to a forward, balanced dressage horse. Pierre is incredibly patient, and he truly cares about both the horse and rider's well-being. His training method is clear and uncomplicated.

Whether you are a beginning or advanced rider, Pierre will help improve your riding and your horse's training. -  Emily
