Riding lessons start on the ground first. Horsemanship lesson required first Introductory price of $65.00 hr. I make these lessons FUN! $85.00 for a private hour. I believe you should learn how to communicate effectively before climbing in the saddle. Earning the respect of your horse through groundwork techniques is essential to having clear communication and respect while mounted. My horse's are NOT your typical school horses, they are my personal well trained riding horses. I have miles of trails right out back. $50.00 for 1/2 hour available for children age 5-10 years old. Beginner or advanced rider you WILL learn safety tips that you were never taught! How many times have you heard "I rode once, the horse took off..... never rode again". That's not going to happen at Bobcat Farm

For beginners, you will not only learn to tack up a horse properly, you'll learn to lead, lunge, and do liberty work. You will develop a partnership with the horse, that you will carry forward to every equine relationship in your future.

Want to get ready to enjoy your time at a dude ranch? Start here, we have miles of trails!

For advanced horse riders/ owners, we'll start at your level and together will develop a entire new set of skills to advance your abilities, or get rid of bad habits you may have acquired. Our first lesson will still start on the ground, then we move on to under saddle. I will teach you counter moves that you can take home to your own horse or a horse you lease. Does your own horse or a horse you have ridden, spook, invade your space? I teach you how to stay safe in the saddle, and on the ground. Learn from a lifelong horsewoman and professional horse trainer. Call today!
This is what a client had to say..." I have been looking for a long time to find a horseback riding facility where I would be able to take lessons on natural trails. Not only did I find that at Bobcat Farm, but also with a very talented and excellent riding instructor named Cathie Hatrick-Anderson. You will feel absolutely safe and yet also learn a tremendous amount about horsemanship. Finally Cathie is also incredibly patient - which is a wonderful bonus. I now gladly travel each week to Bobcat Farm to learn more about horses and to improve my riding as an adult learner. It works! I might repeat myself but this place is absolutely wonderful. Her lessons are filled with useful information and are very reasonably priced. It might sound exaggerated, I have no idea why anybody would go to another place to pay more money and get less riding instructions. This is the real deal. Annette B" ... See More

Lessons, training and coaching with Julie Blackburn. Julie teaches all riders "balance seat" which is an all purpose seat that encourages riding by balance rather than strength or force. Based on a modified dressage seat, balance seat encompasses riding on the flat as well as jumping and cross country riding.

Balance seat lessons can help you become a more effective rider by teaching you to control your breathing, vision, posture and mental imaging. This allows you to ride in a relaxed and balanced manner in any style saddle, using any rein handling technique.

Balance seat riders learn how to establish a harmonious physical interaction with their horse, rather than just achieving a prescribed show ring seat. Lessons include both mounted and unmounted exercises.

Julie is available for dressage, stadium jumping and cross country lessons.... See More
