About Equestrian Sports Coaching
What We’re About
At Verdinand Equestrian Academy, riding isn’t just a sport - it’s about building trust and partnership with your horse. We treat our horses as teammates, not tools. Located in the heart of Delhi’s equestrian scene, our focus is always on real progress, not just ticking boxes.
What We Coach
- We train riders in all three Olympic disciplines: Show Jumping, Dressage, and Eventing.
- Beginners, seasoned riders, and those dreaming of the national team all find a path here.
- Our show jumping classes Delhi run in big, flood-lit sand arenas, perfect for day or night.
- Dressage coaching India style, but with international flavour - sometimes even Grand Prix riders from Holland pop in.
- For eventing, we go all in. Expect cross-country riding lessons with real logs, water jumps, and banks on grass, prepping you for competition.
The VEA Journey
- We help riders move from their first nervous canter (jisko pehle canter se bhi darr lagta tha) to clearing jumps and competing nationally.
- Clear pathway: Children’s lessons to Regional Equestrian League, Nationals, and even FEI eventing preparation for those hungry to go global.
Why Us?
- Our trainers are pros, but there’s no snobbery - just honest feedback and support.
- Regular camps with international experts, and chances to train abroad.
- We love seeing the small wins, not just the big medals. Baaki mehnat par hai (the rest is all about your hard work).

My Story
We’re Team VEA, not just a riding school, more like a big family of horse lovers in Delhi. Started out chasing a dream and now, we’ve got nervous newbies turning into medal winners – even a nine-year-old grabbing 16 medals! Our coaches, grooms, and parents, all in it together. That bond between rider and horse, the late-night practice, the wins, the fails – that’s what keeps us going.
