Horseback Riding in Catawba, Virginia (Roanoke County)

Beginner lessons offered with Kay and Monica focus on building a bond of love and trust between horse and rider through natural horsemanship methods taken from a variety of professional trainers and melded together into something that has been proven to work time and time again. They want you to feel confident in your riding.

One horse is available for lessons but it is preferred that you use your own horse if possible. $15 an hour.
Lessons will be given at the Catawba Equestrian Center, but they will travel to you if you have your own horse and would prefer not to move it.

Maya and Matty work together as a way to better your level of training, but when asked will work separately.

If you cannot afford the standard rates, feel free to call and discuss it. Both girls are willing to work for little to no charge after an extensive look into family backgrounds as to not be ripped off.

At one point in their lives, both of the girls were unable to do what they loved so much due to low funds and high rates, and they both strive to make sure nobody else has to go through that.... See More

Deb says: I LOVE to help people learn to ride! We have wonderful horse teaching partners, and a beautiful facility with indoor and outdoor arenas. For 30 years my focus has been on how the process of building relationships with horses enrich our lives. Offering programs for children, teens, college students and adults, I teach classical riding technique with applications to western, hunters and dressage. Many of my students ride for their own enjoyment, some become competitive riders. I coach National and World Champions Youth and adult Non-Professionals in the Appaloosa industry.... See More

I can start young horses, rehab, put training on greenies or low level horses and re train difficult or even "impossible" horses. I also teach.

I am a behavioral specialist, using liberty training (advanced groundwork) and classical Dressage technique/theory with an emphasis on biomechanics and "riding with humility" to achieve unity with your horse- making you and him/her reach for your potential and begin a journey of self transformation.

Horses will help you find yourself if you give respect, ask for respect, listen to them, and surrender your fear.

My training is Dressage based but I believe all horses need a versatile foundation and incorporate XC schooling, cavaletti, trail riding, and fun but challenging activities when appropriate to build confidence in the horse and rider. I teach riders of all ages and experience levels on their own horses in the comfort of their own facility. I can also travel to shows or schooling events. Contact me with any inquiries or for resume, references, and portfolio.

Serving Loudoun County and surrounding areas.

You tell me what you want, I can make it happen!

Currently I do not have lesson horses available to the public. Boarding may be available to training clients.... See More
