Alexis has always loved horses but didn’t start riding until she asked for lessons at 10 years old. She went to her first shows on a thoroughbred named Trickster who started her adoration for the breed. OTTB’s have a special place in her heart, and she has a lot of fun retraining them.

Her first experiences were in the hunter/equitation ring, competing locally, at rated shows, and on IEA teams. As she gained experience on trail rides and eventually foxhunting, she loved the thrill, and so she found out about more disciplines outside of the ring. That led her to learn about eventing.

Dressage, show jumping, and cross country are her passions, but she loves to guide students to find their own interests. she believes every rider, no matter how experienced, is always learning. Horses teach us so much every day!... See More

Recently relocating from Southwestern Montana, Carlyn brings over fifteen years of equine industry experience and a passion for horses and teaching to her position at Silver Eagle
Stable.

Carlyn has nearly a decade of professional training experience with various trainers, including AQHA and NRHA professionals in Washington State and Montana. She also has over ten years
of competition experience in both western and English disciplines, ranging from 4-H to breed level shows. To broaden her knowledge further, Carlyn studied at the University of Montana Western, home of the nation’s only Natural Horsemanship program offering its students a Bachelor’s Degree in such studies.

While specializing in reining, Carlyn also enjoys providing quality instruction and training in western horsemanship and pleasure, trail, ranch riding and English riding. Carlyn’s belief is that true horsemanship is built on a solid foundation of trust and confidence between the horse and rider, and helps them achieve this by ensuring a relationship is developed on the ground that can be transferred into the saddle. She also helps students develop a sense of feel, timing and balance, all of which will help prepare students for any direction of horsemanship they choose.

Carlyn will ensure the success of both horse and rider in the basics of horsemanship and beyond.... See More
