Being that I am new to the area, I am looking to take on new clients. I am based out of Southern Sun Farm in Cleburne, but I am also able to drive to a location if needed.

I am well versed in several disciplines, as well as equine management. With an extensive background in the hunter/jumper circuit, certified veterinary technician, experience in everything from show jumping to reining, and a current education in dressage, I am able to offer a broad spectrum of knowledge.

My training system is strongly grounded in the principles of the German Training Scale. Starting with rhythm, relaxation, connection, straightness, impulsion, and collection - the purpose being to develop to the fullest the horse's mental and physical aptitude, and willingness to perform.

I follow the Conrad Schumacher methodology of training: "Enhancing the rider's physical and mental awareness to create maximum harmony with the horse is the cornerstone of the training philosophy. The focus on mental fitness and rider awareness are developed through the basic foundation of the scales of training, the prerequisites for optimum performance, and the selection of working patterns to achieve correct execution of movements throughout the levels."

Please contact me for more information on training for your horse, lessons for yourself, or for help selling or buying a horse. I would love to speak with you. Email me directly at or feel free to call me at . I may not receive your inquiry through this site.... See More

Gaye Goodwin has the experience and teaching skills to help you have more harmony with your horse, whether you ride trails or are a serious dressage competitor. A USDF Bronze Medal rider award recipient, Gaye's accomplishments in the show ring have been made on horses she has brought along herself, not on previously trained horses that were purchased to attain scores, and the journey has been part of her instruction; a clarity about dressage gleaned from the experience of learning the levels, and from training with some of the best in Southern California and the US. Gaye can help you ride better, with dressage instruction, and/or aid you to have confidence on the trail. She is also available to train your horse(s) during the week, if you are busy with a career and need them to keep fit and/or show ready. Professional and client references are available!

Kind, and compassionate, Gaye always puts the horse's interests first. She is also a certified equine sports massage therapist and a natural hoof trimmer. Her background in horses extends 30+ years and includes hunter/jumper, eventing, and exercising and massaging horses at the track, and riding for clients and trainers. Gaye has focused on dressage for the last 25 years. She works with problem horses and specializes in OTTBs.
