Welcome to Rider Horsemanship!
An Intuitive, Heart-felt and Clear Approach to Horsemanship

Rider Horsemanship’s approach to teaching horses and humans focuses on creating a space where connection (trust), communication and partnership form – in mind, body and soul. Our approach is one that seeks mindfulness – a way of being with horses that asks us to be conscious of our intent and actions, and always present.

The key concepts of Rider Horsemanship's Approach lies in the development of communication, confidence, balance, and harmony between horse and rider. The development of communication is foremost as it establishes a mutual understanding and cooperation between both. This cooperation allows both rider and horse to work confidently together in balance, which in turn promotes harmony. Rider Horsemanship focuses on finesse, not force, and the results are achieved more smoothly and easily than most riders could possibly imagine. We employ the philosophies, training techniques, and riding elements of classical dressage. Balance, harmony, suppleness, rhythm, combined with clear, mindful and consistent communication (through aids) becomes the dialogue between horse and rider. These methods, and goals, of classical horsemanship are timeless and applicable to any horse, breed, age and rider's choice of discipline. Much of what is currently termed Natural Horsemanship actually represents a modern rediscovery of some of classical dressage, specifically Xenophon's classical principles of horsemanship (first recorded writings of Greek writer, and horseman, Xenophon in the 4th century BC).

Our approach works for any rider, and any horse, and is never applied with intention to force or make a horse comply. Rather, it is to improve the mind, body and soul connection between any rider, and their horse, no matter what their preference is: western pleasure, english pleasure, eventing, hunter/jumper, reining, cutting, endurance riding, competitive trail riding or pleasure riding....
