North Texas Equestrian Center (NTEC)

North Texas Equestrian Center (NTEC) takes great pride in our hard-earned reputation as being North Dallas' premier equestrian facility. We offer beginning to advanced students the opportunity to learn sound riding principles based on the German school of riding. We offer training from first time on a horse through Grand Prix in both Dressage and Jumping and travel nationwide to shows and international level competitions.  NTEC is proud to be a USEF Center of Excellence, an Elite Training Center and a USOC Paralympic Sports Club.

Kai Handt, who has been riding and competing internationally for more than 30 years is owner of and head trainer at NTEC. He is a United States Dressage Federation (USDF) Bronze, Silver and Gold medalist, and has won numerous medals and championships, both in the US and Europe. A licensed trainer and German FN instructor since 1979, Kai relocated to the US in 1985 and gained the reputation as being the trainer of some of the most talented riders and horses in the Southwest. Some of his students have successfully competed at the World Equestrian Games and the Paralympics.

At NTEC we believe that matching the right horse to the rider is a major key to success. As one of the largest importers of European Sport Horses in the US, we specialize in finding the right horse to meet your needs. Many top horses throughout the Southwest as well as national champions have come from NTEC, competing successfully at the highest levels in hunter, jumper or dressage.

We invite you to tour the barn, meet our horses and instructors and discuss a training program for you.
