*Specializing in youth and amateur riders

Since 1989 I have specialized in working with youth and amateur riders. I started my career riding Western horses with my speciality being All Around/versatility and Trail (show) . During my college years I delved into the world of showing hunter jumpers and there I would spend the next 20+ years showing and competing. 2020 marked my path back into the Western world.
I operate a small lesson barn with a very minimal number of boarders and minimal number of training horses at any one time. If you are interested in training or tune ups, please be aware there my be a waiting list. Lessons are 45$ per hour for most riders. Walk/trot riders 6-8 $35 (30-45 min) Youth 6 and under (leadline) are 30$/ half hour. As of 2022 we will offer video/remote lessons. With a strong emphasis on safetyand solid basics. "At home" programs/lessons are available so you can work on your owns horse or we can problem solve, standard rate +fuel sur charge (max 20 mile distance) Children with ADD/ADHD and high function autism are welcome as my program can me modified to accommodate their specific needs.

I have been training horses & riders for 35 years. I feel there must be a "team" atmosphere, between horse and rider. From beginner riders to pleasure riding and including show riders. All aspects are equally important regarding horse care.

Our aspiration at Cross Trails Stables is to provide an inexpensive facility where horse lovers of all ages can have serious, and play, time with horses. We offer full care in our 13,060 sq ft facility. Our full board includes feedings of 14% pelleted feed, quality hay grown on the farm, daily stall cleaning with fresh shavings and turnout (weather permitting). Owners and stable help live on site. We have a a 200x100 outdoor arena and 110x60 indoor arena. We have a fun loving family atmosphere, and often gather together for cookouts, fun shows, and group rides.... See More

We involve ourselves yearly in hunter paces, trail rides, beach rides, drag fox hunting, dressage, eventing, and endurance.

Teaching western, bareback, english, and trail riding starting out the right way with skills that will last a lifetime

One of the most important things to me as an instructor, besides keeping it safe for rider & horse, is to be able to help build a bond between two very unlikely "creatures".
Only when the horse trusts the rider and the rider is not afraid of the horse can a true partnership begin. Through its basic principles dressage can help with this goal of a true partnership. Whether you are striving to compete at shows, go trail riding, jump or just want to improve your riding, dressage training will help you to communicate better, ride smoother and overall enjoy each other more.
For most of my students, horseback riding is a hobby which they incorporate into already very busy lives. It is my hope that dressage lessons and the knowledge acquired from the lessons will enhance their joy in riding their horses.... See More
