Horseback Riding in Xenia, Ohio (Greene County)

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

Primarily an eventing group we teach the classic principles of jumping and dressage. We involve ourselves yearly in hunter paces, trail rides, beach rides, drag fox hunting, dressage, eventing, and endurance. Our niche is boarding student horses and leasing out school horses for students to learn on, show, or just enjoy. We strive to help our students reach their own personal goals, whatever they may be, and to do what's right for you and your horse! Come join in on the learning and fun! We'd love to meet you and your horse. Leasing program available if you do not own one. Working student program also. Seasonal: Ohio = April- November. Florida = Dec-March.

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

Has been around horses her whole life and wants to continue

Lessons and training. Specialize in problem horses, and a diverse client group. Nuerodiverse students and beginners encouraged to inquire. Colt starting, family safe mounts and ranch horses are my speciality.

We provide lessons for the beginner through advanced rider, focusing on the importance of a correct seat for successful communication with your horse. Whether you prefer Western or English disciplines, we will help you communicate clearly with the horse for balanced and collected movement. Some people call this 'centered riding' and some call it 'biomechanics,' we call it solid horsemanship. We provide lessons on our horses or you can load in.

For those starting out in horse riding, we will provide you instruction on horse care, grooming, haltering and leading a horse. We will show you how to tack up, and we will discuss the horse's structure and the biomechanics of riding. We want you to learn the cues for riding, when to apply them and why they work. Under saddle you will learn how to balance upon your horse and communicate with your horse through your hands, seat and legs. We will provide you training in walk, trot and canter in an arena setting and then move outside of the arena for more challenge.

For the intermediate student who currently rides and wants to expand their ability, we will further develop your seat with balance and agility exercises. You can learn flying lead changes, dressage patterns or how to jump - anything is possible once you have confidence in your seat. We have younger riders learning to show and several adult owners who want to become more confident and enjoy their horse again. Show coaching is available. Please contact us directly for more information!... See More
