Rocking A Performance Horses offers beginner and general riding lessons. Andi teaches the student all aspects of horse ownership- grooming, health and foot care, riding, stall care, ground work, and anything else that happens when one owns a horse. Andi's goal is for each of her students to be ready and able to own their own horse some day and be safe in doing so. Lessons start wth going over a few ground work manuevers and reviewing the ones from the previous lesson and then the students grooms and tacks the horse and begins the riding portion. The rates are reasonable and the horses are friendly and willing partners.

Andi also does horse training, breaking and finishing, and is willing to test out a potential horse for her clients.... See More
