Curating dressage partners with European pedigree and transatlantic precision.
Founded by Diane Rodich, Top Class Dressage bridges the transatlantic divide between premier European sport horse breeding houses and ambitious equestrians across the United States and Europe.
We do not operate as a volume dealership. Instead, our maison functions as a private equestrian advisory, offering comprehensive horse sourcing, bespoke pedigree analysis, clinical veterinary transparency, and tailored rider matchmaking. Every equine candidate is vetted not only for biomechanical brilliance and Grand Prix potential, but for the rideability and temperament required for a lasting partnership.
