“I believe that horses teach us many Life Lessons.” There are so many benefits to horseback riding. Self confidence, Trust, Team work & Fitness to name just a few.
The education with horses never ends.
I have been riding horses since the age of eight years old.Also showing them as a teen.I wanted to further my education to become a true professional in the horse industry. Certification at Meredith Manor was key. I have also been fortunate to work/ride- hands on. With some of our nations greatest trainers. Competing with Reining horses on a a national level.
I consistently strive to seek more knowledge & information "Based on Fact" of this majestic animal! It never gets old. Yet,I truly feel my greatest teacher of all is THE HORSE.
My lessons come from each horse daily. Over the many years of my career. I have worked hard to understand their language. Which is very different from ours. In return, I have learned how to listen to them, yet remain the Leader. They dont mind,as long as you Earn it!
This is what I want to share/teach with each of my students. We all work as a team. It has been a beautiful journey.
I am forever.. ..a "Student of the Horse”.
There are things, Beginner Riders ~
need to learn about horses before they ever get on one.That is a huge missing piece for most. I want to help you understand how to communicate with them on the ground and in the saddle. Building Trust-Respect and Confidence ~ Guided with positive instruction.Horse handling-grooming-how to saddle and mostly RIDING.
I feel that a “fundamental understanding” of horses & riding. Will open up a whole new world of possibilities and enjoyment! It is a lifetime skill. EVERYONE has to start somewhere.
For the Advanced Rider ~ I am very confident I can help you develop more precise coordination of your body and your aides.Balance & timing are essential. Along with goal setting-hard work & dedication
So that you & your horse can begin to function as ONE. Competing with a much sharper edge- for today’s highly competitive show world! It is very rewarding when you have students that have earned National & Collegiate Titles.
Proving what can be achieved with a Calm-Attentive-Willing-horse. Trained with
finesse not force.
I specialize~ in the sport of Reining.
It doesn’t get any better than that.
Lets get started today!
