Providing a Productive Environment
Providing a top-tier environment that is truly conducive to developing high-performance athletes should always be a top priority for discerning horse owners. We are proud and grateful to offer precisely that - a setting where excellence is cultivated, and potential is brought to life. CSD amenities offer:
— 20m x 60m Footing Solutions HIT Active Aqua arena complete with FSGeoTEX Premium footing and Dressage Diamond Mirrors on a short side
— Spacious Footing Solutions turnout
— 15’ x15’ Equine Mattress stalls with attached 15’x15’ paddocks
Further Options
While based in the heart of the prestigious Palos Verdes Peninsula, CSD’s program also offers comprehensive off-site training and remote coaching options for serious, goal-oriented clients. Through platforms like PIVO and Pixem, we’re able to extend the same quality of instruction and attention to detail beyond our home base.
Whether you’re developing a young prospect or striving toward FEI-level performance, Carlos provides a program grounded in classical fundamentals, refined through modern techniques, and tailored to meet the unique goals of each horse-and-rider partnership.
