Horseback Riding in Black Hawk, Colorado (Gilpin County)

English and Western Riding lessons.
Horse training of all ages and disciplines

I am a hunter/jumper trainer with over 20 years experience teaching riders from beginner up to the Grand Prix level. Quality school horses and tack are available. I am a licensed USEF judge, and I show and train at all levels of competition. My priority in training is to teach the horses and riders to be relaxed, confident, and happy. I believe in using classical training techniques to effectively communicate, listening to the horses and understanding what they are thinking and how this effects their ability to do their job. It all comes down to teaching basics better to create a solid base to build on. I am straight forward and honest about what I see, passionate about the horses, and I love my job. Let me teach you how awesome it CAN be! Please contact me at or e-mail me at You can also visit the farm web site at www.fortcollinsequestrian.com
