International Performance Horse Development Association

SSG Performance Horses Trainer Siobhan O'Connell is an IPHDA Professional Trainer, and is proud to be involved with this great association.  

The IPHDA allows the horse and rider to progress at their own pace through the different levels. Each level's pattern help build the foundation maneuvers that develop a broke horse. As the horse and rider progress through the levels, they learn and master increasingly difficult maneuvers.

Performance Horse Development can help every horse and rider-whether you are new to riding or an experienced show competitor.

IPHDA shows are held online-all you need to compete is a horse and a friend with a video camera. IPHDA offers personal achievement awards in addition to class awards.
