Tempus Renatus School of Classical Horsemanship

About

Tempus Renatus started with dreams of our founders that arose after watching the old Disney movie “Miracle of the White Stallions.” Ever since that exposure to the Lipizzans and the Spanish Riding School, we wanted to experience that beauty and harmony in our own riding. Starting with horses of various breeds and backgrounds, we stumbled into classical trainers as we looked for ways to help our horses be their best selves, even if they were less-than-perfectly built. When the chance came up to acquire a Lipizzan, it felt like a dream come true.

We started in 2012 as a small breeding/training farm with the hope of making a small impact for Lipizzan breeding and training. However, we came to realize the horses and classical riding had a much greater impact on others than we could have imagined. We also saw how there were few training centers in the US where someone could have intensive training in classical dressage, and there were even fewer chances for people who have the heart but not the resources. Hence, the nonprofit was born in 2017 to help others with passion and love for the art of riding. In June of 2022, we relocated from Raeford, NC to Black Mountain, NC, where were building new facilities with big plans and dreams. Unfortunately, in September of 2024, Hurricane Helene struck and severely damaged a large portion of our land, which could not be made useable for grazing for some time due to the grasses being destroyed and debris being placed on the field. In order to move forward, we relocated to Remsen, NY. Plans are on hold for Black Mountain, but until something solidifies, we will be working to fulfill our mission in New York.
