NOTE FROM TRAINER:
Choosing a trainer/ teacher is the key to your foundational development as an equine lover. Classical form incorporated with basic simple militant routines and systems will aid you through to the best performance you can pull out of you and your mount daily with room for growth with grace.

You will learn three gates, which each movement is called and the simple art of equine communication between horse and rider without words.

Truly to become one with your animal and breathe in that equine cadence beat one hoof step at a time.

How do you win your mount over and become someone they trust and love?

It’s an equine affair… truly horsey fever and you know when you have it :)

I’d love to aid you on your journey.... See More
