MISSION STATEMENT: Paglia West and it's employees, in conjunction with Los Cedros USA aim to create a team based, skillful and competitive dressage group that is renowned as the best in Arizona. Paula and her staff will work together towards this goal by creating a friendly atmosphere and a structured and organized business consisting of excellent horses and riders competitive at the FEI levels.
VISION: Paula Paglia’s vision is to have a superior dressage training program which will allow both Paula and her students the skill to compete at the Class A, National, and FEI levels. Although there are many training programs in
PHILOSOPHY: The Paglia philosophy is to develop a partnership between horse and rider. The well being of the horse is of primary consideration. Owners and others taking lessons are treated in a respectful and caring manner. Paula evaluates each horse and rider individually and designs a program appropriate to their ability but focused on the long-term goals of upper level classical dressage.
Paula believes that a successful training regime is a logical, step-by-step process that utilizes the horse’s natural intelligence, his loyalty, his goodwill, and his honesty. She recognizes that each horse is an individual and therefore must be developed at his own pace. A sensible and structured training method will produce a horse with a strong muscle structure as well as a strong working mind, both necessary to compete at the national and international levels.
