Has been around horses her whole life and wants to continue

Old Oak Farm is the zebra in a herd of horses when compared to the typical show barn. We specialize in more individualized lesson plans and training programs that are able to fit the specific needs of our diverse cliental. Our trainer Denise Phillips has a background that consists of riding and training hunters, jumpers and equitation horses. During her competitive years she qualified for IHSA Nationals at Kenyon College and as an adult trained with Pamela Graham (hunters and jumpers), Jen Nadalin (hunters and jumpers) and Leslie McDonald (dressage).

Denise's teaching philosophy involves designing a system based on how riders learn best and has evolved into really helping her students "learn to feel" and develop problem solving skills thus enabling them to ride any kind of horse. Working with many different horses and lots of young and green horses requires solid basics that can then be adapted to each unique horse and rider combination.

We have a very developed system for working with many different types of horses and riders. We teach clients how to bring out the best in their horses through consistent, thoughtful riding, and good barn management skills. Her teaching methods can best be described as giving the riders the basic tools they need to get the most out of their horse. As horse and rider progress, she equips the rider with more tools, and the knowledge to put those tools to work.... See More

We provide lessons for the beginner through advanced rider, focusing on the importance of a correct seat for successful communication with your horse. Whether you prefer Western or English disciplines, we will help you communicate clearly with the horse for balanced and collected movement. Some people call this 'centered riding' and some call it 'biomechanics,' we call it solid horsemanship. We provide lessons on our horses or you can load in.

For those starting out in horse riding, we will provide you instruction on horse care, grooming, haltering and leading a horse. We will show you how to tack up, and we will discuss the horse's structure and the biomechanics of riding. We want you to learn the cues for riding, when to apply them and why they work. Under saddle you will learn how to balance upon your horse and communicate with your horse through your hands, seat and legs. We will provide you training in walk, trot and canter in an arena setting and then move outside of the arena for more challenge.

For the intermediate student who currently rides and wants to expand their ability, we will further develop your seat with balance and agility exercises. You can learn flying lead changes, dressage patterns or how to jump - anything is possible once you have confidence in your seat. We have younger riders learning to show and several adult owners who want to become more confident and enjoy their horse again. Show coaching is available. Please contact us directly for more information!... See More
