Horseback Riding in New Mexico

My business focus has shifted from riding instructor to equine bodyworker and movement/alignment coach. The focus is on helping the rider/owner find the maximum connection and harmony with their horse by applying hands-on techniques of the 'Masterson Method Integrated Bodywork for Performance' (1st certified practitioner in NM) to bring the horse into balance and then coaching the rider/owner on way to maintain or fortify this healthier state for the horse. This can include designing a specific ground work and under saddle program, along with evaluating the individual riders connection and alignment in the saddle. Based just north of Santa Fe but currently have clients from as far south as T or C/Socorro and north to Alamosa, CO. Multiple horse discounts, trainer barn discounts, school horses 1/2 price and oldest horse in the barn by donation. So if there is something not quite right with the way your horse is going, or out of gratitude for your equine partner, you just want to gift your horse with an amazing 2 hours of relaxing bodywork or even only needing/wanting feedback on what is happening while you're in the saddle.

I have trained horses and riders in England and here in the United States for over 30 years. Owner of Mira Stables since 1991, I travel to your home or stable to teach you and your horse at your convenience in your environment.

I specialize in initial training (backing and breaking in), problem horses that need rehabilitation and teaching adults and children to ride competently whether in the arena or out hacking on trail.

Huge emphasis is placed on stable management, grooming, tack, leading as well as riding.

I always offer a free consultation and evaluation to make sure that my client's goals are thoroughly understood and agreed upon, because at the end of the day, it is you who's going to be riding your horse, not me!... See More

Taos Horse offers superior balance seat riding lessons. We blend the philosophies and practices of Centered Riding with dance, pilates, yoga, and martial arts. Exercises that activate both hemispheres of the brain and cultivate new neurological pathways are also featured in this unique training system. The rider develops a deep sense of balance and connection to the horse - along with core strength that is elastic and supple. This training system is unlike any other. It is great for beginners who want a solid foundation and is also wonderful for intermediate or advanced riders in any discipline. We work on the flat, over fences and various obstical courses. Our facilities are as unique as the training. We work in an enchanting setting in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of San Cristobal.

Eric Bravo ( I Come To You!)
I teach to build a strong relationship with your horse based on trust and respect. Using natural methods the horse understands. Like approach and retreat, feel and timing and how to reward and reconize the slightest try. These are very important things needed to talk to your horse in his own language and to help you be a repected confident leader for your horse. The results are a calm confident thinking horse that looks to you for guidence. In the process I solve pratical problems like desensitizing him to anything that puts him in the negative ( head up high neck bowed out and stiff, body tight)(and wanting to move his feet when you don't want him to.) over coming resistance to every day tasks like,( feet being picked up, standing still to be saddled and mounted,ears touched , bridling,lead thrown over back, legs and head,being ted , bags, trailer loading,catching, flexing and dropping his head.( this puts him in the positive) This is hand on training geared to cover all asspects of groundwork and riding, with or without a saddle the natural way....
