Horseback Riding in Hillsboro, Ohio (Highland County)

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.

Are you looking learn more about Horses? Do you have a little one who is dreaming about horses or begging you to have a pony of their own? Or are you that little one who is now an adult who can now make your dreams come true? Not sure where to start? Let me help! If you are looking for lessons, training, summer camps, or just not sure. I can get you where you need to go, from:lessons on our barn horses, leasing a horse, showing 4-H, open shows, buying your first horse, or an advanced rider needing some more challenges. I am a 4-H horse Judge and have been around horse and showing most of my life. Feel free to e-mail me or call. I look forward to helping you!... See More

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
