Over 25+ years professional equestrian coaching and training experience in H/J, Dressage and western pleasure. Proudly offering complete training for bith horse and rider for all levels and skill sets from beginners on up.

I promote understanding between horse and rider. Lessons plans include beginning through advanced English and Western riding. I also teach trail riding and Polo. I offer beginning jumping and gymkhana. There is an emphasis on horse communication and my students can learn complete horse care. I work with Girl Scouts and can do riding lesson birthday parties. I have a unique instructional style. I usually ride in the lesson with my students so that I can show them exactly what I am teaching and I explain why it is done that way. I have a teaching background (middle school, highs school and college) that helps me relate to all ages of students.... See More

At Rhinestar Performance Horses, we are fully dedicated to the horses we train and our equine owners.
We specialize in Western Pleasure training and Natural Horsemanship for serious minded adults, amateur and youth. Our program begins with giving you the tools that bring you respect and trust with your equine partner. One of the most important elements we provide is ground work which teaches respect and helps to create a safe environment. Secondly, we begin the riding process in order to get the horse to move the five main body parts and bring their training up to an intermediate level. Thirdly, we integrate you; giving you the ability to ride and move the five body parts. Finally, we also have the five C’s: building your Confidence, Correct balance, Coordination, Connection between horse and rider, and Communication skills you’ll need to properly ride.
We also work to develop and teach beginners and young children to be safe and confident riders. Our trainers have the background of being in 4-H from a young age to a young adult. We are very aware of the thought processes of children that want to learn and grow in this field. We are fully prepared for children and young adults that want to be able to take it to the next level and those that may even want to become trainers themselves.
We offer starting young horses from the ground up, and will provide the training to make a well broke horse, all the way to a completely finished horse. At Rhinestar, while your horse is in our training program, rest assured that they will receive the best possible care we can offer. We believe that, by treating your horses as athletes, their bodies demand a nutritionally balanced diet as well as a preventive health care program. We offer both nutrition and Chiropractic, Osteopath, Acupuncture and Equine massage from our veterinarian and equine health partners that are the very best in the industry.
We have the knowledge and experience of over 20 years of training horses and a background in showing as well. Our passion is training horses and teaching those who have the passion and desire to learn and grow with these magnificent animals.

We would love the opportunity to work with you and your equine partner to help you achieve your goals. Please call us for a free consultation and we would love to share with you what our program entails.... See More
