“I believe that horses teach us many Life Lessons.” There are so many benefits to horseback riding. Self confidence, Trust, Team work & Fitness to name just a few.
The education with horses never ends.
I have been riding horses since the age of eight years old.Also showing them as a teen.I wanted to further my education to become a true professional in the horse industry. Certification at Meredith Manor was key. I have also been fortunate to work/ride- hands on. With some of our nations greatest trainers. Competing with Reining horses on a a national level.
I consistently strive to seek more knowledge & information "Based on Fact" of this majestic animal! It never gets old. Yet,I truly feel my greatest teacher of all is THE HORSE.
My lessons come from each horse daily. Over the many years of my career. I have worked hard to understand their language. Which is very different from ours. In return, I have learned how to listen to them, yet remain the Leader. They dont mind,as long as you Earn it!
This is what I want to share/teach with each of my students. We all work as a team. It has been a beautiful journey.
I am forever.. ..a "Student of the Horse”.
There are things, Beginner Riders ~
need to learn about horses before they ever get on one.That is a huge missing piece for most. I want to help you understand how to communicate with them on the ground and in the saddle. Building Trust-Respect and Confidence ~ Guided with positive instruction.Horse handling-grooming-how to saddle and mostly RIDING.
I feel that a “fundamental understanding” of horses & riding. Will open up a whole new world of possibilities and enjoyment! It is a lifetime skill. EVERYONE has to start somewhere.
For the Advanced Rider ~ I am very confident I can help you develop more precise coordination of your body and your aides.Balance & timing are essential. Along with goal setting-hard work & dedication
So that you & your horse can begin to function as ONE. Competing with a much sharper edge- for today’s highly competitive show world! It is very rewarding when you have students that have earned National & Collegiate Titles.
Proving what can be achieved with a Calm-Attentive-Willing-horse. Trained with
finesse not force.
I specialize~ in the sport of Reining.
It doesn’t get any better than that.
Lets get started today!

What "style" do I teach? No, it's not "English" or "Western" - it is the language of the horse, pure and simple! I do use comfortable "English" dressage style saddles and bitless bridles on my horses.

Experience horses for the first time - riding or just being with horses and learning from them! There are lots of horse activities that can be done on the ground. Being around horses is healing to the mind, body, and spirit. Learning how to communicate with them using body language can create personal breakthroughs!

For the advancing horseperson: learn natural horsemanship skills, connecting and bonding with horses, schooling exercises to develop horse and rider including liberty work, in hand work, cavesson work. For the more advanced rider, learn collected riding skills. Specializing in bitless bridle use and selection, and transitioning horses to bitless riding. Partnership, love, and harmony with the horse always comes first!

We are a genuine holistic center: my other services include consultations for more natural horse care, diet and nutrition programs, natural health management, designing equine facilities and paddock set ups for better horse care, developing therapeutic rehab exercise programs for horses recovering from injuries, fine-tuning our communication with equines, and more!

Yvonne Welz is a professional horsewoman with over 35 years of equine management and training experience. Formerly a competitive dressage rider, she schooled many horses up to an advanced level and achieved national awards with them. Always focused on learning, she has studied the art of classical horsemanship for over 25 years, including the French classical methods. She has trained many horses from scratch, acquiring them as yearlings or untrained, starting them out under saddle and schooling them to higher levels. She has enjoyed giving riding lessons to children and adults since the 1990's. In the 2000's, she studied several different methods of natural horsemanship, and also trained in equine nutrition, saddle fitting, and barefoot hoof trimming. She was instrumental in helping to introduce the methods of natural barefoot horse care to the USA in 2000. In 2013, she embraced collected high school riding without the use of bits or spurs, and has not looked back. Enjoy her holistic approach and absolute love for the horse!

ABOUT US…
Our mission at Wells Family Farm is to provide a safe and supportive environment where veterans, individuals and families can come to participate in various activities that teach about self-reliance; becoming more resilient to transitions and challenges that occur in life; and learn about mental and emotional fitness and how it can help strengthen marriages and create a thriving family dynamic.

One way we accomplish this is through the equestrian program at Desiree Wells Coaching where participants interact with horses to learn Life Lessons on:

• clear communication
• healthy leadership and partnership
• letting go of fears and anxiety
• developing resiliency
• building self-concept and becoming more confident
• setting and upholding boundaries
• strengthening marriage and families

We offer private and group sessions as well as host community events that include: marriage and family retreats; “Life Lessons through Horses” summer camps; and we travel to present live events at your barn or in your community.

And for those who want to elevate their competitive performance, Desiree brings over 35 years of experience as a professional competitor, trainer and instructor to work with you on developing your skills while acquiring a Performance Mastery Mindset that helps you succeed each and every time you enter the show ring.

ABOUT THE COACHES

DESIREE: As a life-long professional equestrian, a Master Certified Life Coach, and a military spouse who is passionate about the family dynamic, I specialize in working with children and families to equip them with life skills and tools through learning from interactions with horses that help create accountability; define and set healthy boundaries; cultivate leadership and partnership; develop self-confidence, and promote healthy decision making.

With my extensive background in both the Western competition arena through 4-H, PRCA Rodeo Queening, and Open Quarter Horse Shows.....and in Dressage and Eventing where I have earned my USDF Bronze Medal and USCTA Bronze Medal, I also bring with me Mary Wanless “Ride with your Mind” techniques as well as ground work taught by Manolo Mendez as we work on refining your skills both physically and mentally to improve your performance.

SIDNEY: As a military veteran and Harvard Certified Alternate Dispute Resolution Coach, I support veterans and families who are experiencing transitions in life that may challenge their resilience. I help you identify what may be holding you back that you may not recognize, then I help you create a plan that assists you to thrive during those challenges – and in everyday life – as you gain an awareness of what you really have control over and strengthen those areas.

It is through my love of the farm life and being self-reliant that I combine my passion for helping individuals and families to work with you in fun and creative ways as you participate in everyday farm chores and building projects. This provides the opportunity for you to learn more about who you are by the way you react and respond to situations that are presented, gain insight into options you have in the way you can respond, then take those life lessons into your home and marriage....

DHEC's lesson program is world class. Our philosophy is to provide quality instruction by an experienced trainer with a focus on safety, horsemanship and fun. We offer lessons 6 days a week for both boarders and non-boarders alike. The first lesson will include an evaluation of the rider's level of experience and skill. After this lesson, we will place you into a private lesson or group lesson where you will ride with other students at a similar skill level.

We offer dressage and show jumping lessons plus have a 5-acre cross-country schooling field for eventing. We go to both h/j and eventing shows on a regular basis. Some of the local shows we attend are MSC, POP, Grand Oaks, Majestic Oaks, 3 Lakes, Sweet Dixie South, Barnstaple and Rocking Horse . We also attend rated dressage shows and eventing horse trials throughout Florida and the Southeast.

Specializing in those difficult OTTB's or the well-bred WB's, (we don't breed discriminate here, so bring it on!) From fresh off-the-track to bringing back from rehab or years spent in the pasture, our quality training at DHEC will show you the horse you were meant to ride! All horses and their owners become family at Dream Horse Equestrian Center, and we look forward to meeting you and your 4-legged partner, and strive to help you reach your goals!

For the beginner, DHEC teaches how to tack up and basic horse care and grooming. We believe that taking care of your horse is an important part of the lesson program. Caring for your horse before and after each lesson makes each rider feel more comfortable around horses, teaches responsibility and allows the rider to feel closer to their mount. We start at the very beginning teaching balance as a number one priority.

For the more advanced riders, we offer an extensive lesson program focusing on safety and horsemanship so you can move up to that next level. The program features many school horses, group instruction, and frequent participation in local shows. DHEC provides additional services for the equestrian community, including offering horses both for sale and for lease.

Because the safety of our riders is extremely important, ALL riders must wear a helmet. We provide helmets for riders who do not have their own. Please wear long pants or breeches (jeans are ok). Paddock boots are ideal or a hard-soled boot with a small heel is acceptable (no tennis shoes).

Lesson packages and gift certificates are available. Please call us to schedule a time to come out to the farm to see the facility, meet the horses and enjoy your first lesson.... See More
