About
Welcome to Pat Pighin's International Equestrian Centre, a top horse riding school and equestrian club located in the picturesque Cranbrook BC area. At our centre, we offer high-quality horse riding lessons, training programs, and boarding facilities for riders of all levels.
Pat Pighin, the founder of the equestrian centre, has been passionate about horses since a young age. With decades of experience in horse training, riding, and coaching, Pat is a certified Equine Canada Level 2 Coach/Trainer. Her intuitive and practical approach to teaching has earned her a reputation as an outstanding instructor in the equestrian community.
In addition to her coaching credentials, Pat also has experience with animal husbandry, having worked at Steeples Veterinary Clinic for 15 years. This background gives her a keen eye for horse health issues and medical procedures, ensuring that all horses under her care receive the best possible attention.
At Pat Pighin's International Equestrian Centre, we believe in building a relationship of respect and trust between horses and humans. Pat's philosophy emphasizes the importance of gaining a horse's trust rather than instilling fear, resulting in a productive and harmonious partnership between rider and horse.
Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the basics of horse riding or an experienced rider seeking to improve your skills, our centre offers a range of programs and clinics to suit your needs. From kids' camps to dressage schooling shows, there is something for every equestrian enthusiast at our facility.
