PROVIDING A WELL ROUNDED CLASSICAL Dressage EDUCATION
Dedicated to Excellence
Tempus Renatus School of Classical Horsemanship (formerly Wright Tempo School of Equestrian Arts) is a small 501(c)(3) non-profit riding school nestled in the Sandhills of North Carolina. Just down the road from the Carolina Horse Park at Five Points, the farm lies on 47 acres of rolling pastures and old pine forests, secluded yet easily accessible.
Dedicated to excellence, Tempus Renatus promotes and preserves classical dressage techniques passed down from hundreds of years of tradition. Classical riding is not just for the elite, however, and is helpful for riders of all ages, levels, and backgrounds. We strive to create a space where all are welcome to grow in their skills and connect to their true God-given purpose. Working with horses brings peace and clarity, combatting stress and focussing our minds on what really matters. We also use rare and endangered breeds of horses in our training, such as Lipizzans, Lusitanos, and Kerry Bog ponies. We also use partner animals in San Clemente Island Goats and Kangal Dogs to enrich the lives of our horses.
