About

Prairie Rose Training Center Dressage is a full-service equine facility in Bismarck, ND. While dressage is our passion, we have extensive experience in hunter/jumper and Western as well.  We breed, train and show nationally competitive Arabian Sport Horses (Arabians or Arab crosses utilized for dressage or jumping) and embrace all breeds of horses. Stock breeds, Thoroughbreds, warmbloods, ponies and draft crosses are all valuable members of the PRTC horse family. We give lessons to riders of all skill levels and in a variety of disciplines.
