ABOUT 

Nicole L Dlugosz | Owner of Arizen Acres LLC

Nicole L. Dlugosz has been immersed in the world of equestrian sports since the age of 9, starting her riding journey in the Chicagoland area. Her early experiences encompassed a broad spectrum of disciplines, including hunter/jumper and western riding, before she discovered her true passion for dressage.

​

Nicole’s dedication to dressage and her love for off-track Thoroughbreds have become central to her career. She believes that dressage can benefit any horse, and with the right training, Thoroughbreds can shine in the dressage arena.

​

Today, Nicole and her husband are the proud owners of Arizen Acres LLC located in the picturesque Bluegrass region of Paris, Kentucky, where she trains her own string of Thoroughbreds for dressage competition.

​

Nicole is proud to be a two-time Top Ten finisher in Dressage at the Retired Racehorse Project's Thoroughbred Makeover in 2023 and 2024.
