Horseback Riding in Montpelier, Virginia (Hanover County)

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

Sam has been riding horses for 8 years. He started taking lessons but quickly realized it was a passion for him so he began volunteering as help for riding camps. At that point he met an AQHA professional horseman and started riding under him everyday learning everything he could. Sam was one of the Top 100 youth point earners in the nation in 2018 for AQHA Western Pleasure Shows. After some time, he also started training and breaking horses for clients with his mentor’s guidance . He loves how you can learn a lot from a horse and how they responded to different ques if you’re patient and attentive.

Sam is focused in teaching all western disciplines including ranch riding, western pleasure, horsemanship, and trail patterns – which requires riders to have good communication with their horse and all parts of the horse’s body. He focuses on basics first and then improving to progress to the specialty disciplines.... See More
