For six decades, Palm Equestrian Academy’s Lynn Palm and Cyril Pittion-Rossillon have had success in competition, coaching riders to numerous accolades in various disciplines, creating an extensive library of at home training, presenting their training programs at national and international venues and authoring their equestrian journeys.
With Palm Equestrian Academy’s Managing Director, Marie-Frances Davis, at their side the duo will continue to share with the world that achieving a more humane and successful approach to horsemanship using French classical dressage principles is “not a trend, it’s a transformation”.
In 2026 new educational programs will allow riders to access the decades of experience acquired by Palm and Pittion-Rossillon. While the message is still the same, each will focus on different avenues to connect with equestrians.
- Enhanced features to gain one-on-one access to Lynn and Cyril through the Palm Partners Club
- Private mentoring sessions with Lynn providing an option to bring a horse to sunny Sarasota, FL
- Extended teaching tour with Cyril throughout the Southeast in winter and Northeast in spring/summer/fall
- The continuation of Finding Your Superhorse and following the steps of longevity training with Sand N My Bootz Saturdays on social media platforms
To continue or begin your transformation, follow Palm Equestrian Academy for updates or email Marie-Frances to personalize a plan for you and your horse.
