While Siri does travel locally, home base for Dressage Dreams is Hearthstone Riding Stables.
Hearthstone Riding Stables (HRS) is a beautiful facility in west Houston. HRS offers stall boarding with daily turn out and feeding three times per day. There is an indoor arena with mirrors and fans, a covered round pen, and a full size outdoor dressage arena with lights. HRS also offers access to great trails on the Addicks Reservoir. For more information, please visit hearthstoneridingstables.com.
"After being out of the saddle for nearly 26 years, I decided to take it up Dressage again, and went out and adopted an OTTB (HA….why not jump in feet first!) We decided to board at Hearthstone, and Siri was recommended due to her experience dealing with, and training OTTB’s. Believe me….getting back into the saddle after so long, and on a green, angry, temper throwing OTTB was definitely a challenge – and Siri was up for it! One of the greatest asset Siri brings to her work in teaching and training is her appreciation for dressage, not only as a method, but as an art. She continuously exhibits dedication to the specific needs and well-being of each individual horse and rider under her instruction. Siri shows patience (yes even when I don’t bend him right!) and adherence to the training scale, with realistic goals that are rarely witnessed with other trainers, who seem to want you and your horse in the show ring way too early. She has a commitment to the health of my horse, and the importance of working him forward and keeping us focused with a slow consistent buildup of mental and physical challenges (Sunny and I certainly like to throw challenges at her). This buildup has contributed to the excellent quality that I am consistently seeing in each of our lessons, and how far Sunny and myself have come in only a year. Siri’s commitment to the key foundations of classical dressage have had an enormous impact on me and the people and horses she works with. Her passion for dressage, her love for the horses and her realistic commitment to excellence in all facets of her profession has made being her student a privilege. Thanks Siri :)"

"I own a 16 year old Friesian whose career was driving prior to my purchasing him 3 years ago. Roel had no previous dressage training and only knew how to hold his head high and go straight. We started working with Siri when I brought him to Hearthstone and I now have a Friesian driving horse that can bend, stretch, relax and is turning into a beautiful dressage horse. Siri's knowledge of Friesian's has been very beneficial in our training since she previously owned a Friesian and knows the breed well. Siri is very dedicated to her clients and their horses and truly loves to see the excitement in their progress."
