Welcome!Welcome to Toronto CADORA. We are a fun-loving group of classical riding enthusiasts with a desire to learn and improve our relationships with our horses both on the ground and in the tack. Our focus is on horse-friendly training methods -- the tried and the true of the masters of old that have survived the test of time, and the proven insight of the new -- all in an attempt to foster the development of the happy horse in his work. To this end we organize a number of events throughout the year, and promote products and services, which we feel help to meet our education-focused mandate. Our goal is to help those dedicated to the art of Dressage find joy and have fun in a sport that can often be taken all too seriously. We extend our programs to those from other disciplines because we understand that the foundation for equestrian success is built on sound knowledge of the basics as taught in the classical riding system -- the basis for all good and effective riding. We are always looking for constructive comments or suggestions, so please feel free to let us know. It’s the only way we can continue to grow. Enjoy the ride!
