Hi there! I’ve been training horses for over a decade now and teaching lessons for about 3 years.For riding lessons I have two horses I use that are fantastic or I am happy to train you on your own horse! I really enjoy beginner riders who have a love horses and teaching them, so if your just starting out I’d love to set up a free assessment where we can meet and give you the learning experience you want!
(Students must be at least 10 years and up on my lesson horses and must be at least 6 and up for teaching on your own horse)
If you are in need of horse training I would love to help! I love working with problem behaviors and helping people connect with their horse to have the relationship they’ve always wanted. I can travel to you or come to Seducente Ranch where I train using their amazing facilities.
I’m also expertly trained in the healing therapy of cranial-sacral by Tom Mayes, and have been practicing for four years.
So no matter what your horsey need is, I can help! I have the knowledge, experience, and passion to change your life along with your beloved horse. So lets get started today!... See More
