CLASSICAL DRESSAGE FOR THE MODERN EQUESTRIAN - WITH HEART AND HARMONY
At Donadt Dressage, our mission is to cultivate excellence in horse and rider through dedication, compassion, and trust. I believe true excellence in the arena begins with harmony—between horse and rider, trainer and student, mind and movement.

WHAT WE OFFER
About
ASHLEY DONADT
Donadt Dressage is the result of years of dedication — learning from every horse and every moment. With a career that started from the ground up, Ashley has earned a reputation for her kind, quiet determination, classical skill, and an unwavering commitment to the wellbeing and progress of both horse and rider.
Driven by a deep love for horses and a genuine passion for dressage, Ashley moved from Washington State to California in 2012 to pursue her dressage dreams. In San Diego, she gained valuable experience working as a groom and assistant trainer at several top barns, learning from some of the best in the industry.
​
In 2017, she founded her own training program, Donadt Dressage, where she brings her knowledge, dedication, and enthusiasm to riders of all levels.
​
A Grand Prix rider with ambitious goals, Ashley is committed to continuous growth—both for herself and her students. She trains regularly with her longtime coach and mentor, Olympic medalist Guenter Seidel, and loves sharing the insights and inspiration she gains from those experiences.​
