We provide lessons and horse training for the beginner through advanced, focusing on the importance of a classically correct seat for successful riding. Western Dressage and Ranch Riding is now available! We will help you communicate clearly with your horse for balanced and collected movement. We train both western and HUS. For beginners under saddle, you will learn how to balance upon your horse and communicate with your horse through your hands, seat and legs. We will provide you training in walk, trot and canter in an arena setting and then move outside of the arena for more challenge. For the intermediate student who wants to expand their ability, we will further develop a strong, deep and effective seat while your horse learns collection and rail work. Exercises will develop your balance and strength, as well as your particular discipline. Reining and Ranch horses are available for lessons. You may ride our horses during lessons, load in your own, or board on site. Show prep is also available. Email directly at ... See More
