Horseback Riding in Oregon

I offer instruction in classical dressage-based horsemanship for any level of rider. My methods are based on 'Old World' military horsemanship that takes the techniques of training horses for jousting, mounted archery, mounted combat, etc. and adapts them to practical horsemanship. These methods are rooted in centuries of study in the nature and biomechanical interplay between horse and rider, handed down from master to student, throughout most of recorded history. No force or coercion is used in this style of training, but rather the goal is trust and forming a partnership, conditioning and making the horse supple, with the goal of improving their ability to carry the rider, athletically, for many happy years. If this sounds like the better aspects of what is now called "Natural Horsemanship, well the classical masters had a name for it, they called it "Horsemanship". :)

If this style of horsemanship sounds like something you would be interested in learning more about, I invite you to come out, meet me and my lesson horses, and let's discuss your horsemanship goals and how I might help you achieve them. Feel free to contact me at with any questions you might have.... See More

My background: I have been professionally teaching horsemanship for over 20 years and am a former licensed Parelli Professional. I resigned in December 2021 after 10 years of teaching under Pat Parelli's program to pursue teaching horsemanship on my own with a strong focus on helping horses work through trauma and negative behavioral problems. I am also a CHA (Certified Horsemanship Association) instructor and carry a B.S. degree in Equine Science. I can assist with other types of horsemanship coaching from goal setting, preparing to own your first horse and readying for competition.

I travel out to teach natural horsemanship lessons for students who want to learn to use psychology-based techniques instead of force or fear-based methods. I teach kids lessons on my own school horses as well as beginner adult lessons both on the ground and in the saddle. If you have your own horse, I travel out to teach in Central Oregon, mileage fees may apply. Please reach out to me to schedule private lessons, group lessons or clinics. I can accommodate groups up to 10 riders up to 3 days in length.... See More

At Big Star Ranch, our focus is not just riding, but the whole horse experience. Our students learn how to halter and lead their horse, groom, saddle and ride. But there is so much more to horses!

They also learn how to "read" their horse. Learning how horses communicate helps with so many other aspects of everyday life. Our students learn how to be a better friend, increase their coordination, learn creative problem solving, better their communication skills, and see how they impact their world.

Some of our students are here for the physical benefits. Riding and working with horses can build core strength, muscles, flexibility and coordination.

We welcome those with ADD, ADHD, CP,Learning challanges, teens, no experience necessary.... See More
