Collette Zimmer is a dedicated dressage trainer whose philosophy is simple: the horse always comes first. Based in Odessa, Florida, she works with horses and riders of different levels, focusing on communication, balance, confidence, and a deeper understanding between horse and rider.
Her training emphasizes listening to the horse, recognizing individual needs, and developing each partnership with patience, fairness, and respect.
Through this Skool community, Collette brings that philosophy beyond the arena with practical educational videos riders can apply to everyday training. Members can expect riding tips, biomechanics, exercises, groundwork, horse care, pre- and post-ride assessments, Saddle Club sessions, demonstrations, and insights from equine professionals.
The goal is not simply to perform a movement, but to understand why it happens, what the horse may be communicating, and how to become a better partner.
Horse first. Partnership second. Performance follows. Every ride.!
