I offer lessons and training to help guide, support and advance both recreational and competitive riders.
I provide you and your horse with a solid foundation so you can achieve your unique riding goals.
Horses in training are taken along at their pace; they will not be pushed to do something they are not ready for. They will not be abused! My philosophy is I would rather under-do a horse than overdo a horse. Far too many times I see trainers work and work horses to frustration and confusion, that causes a horse to stop trying for you. I like to leave the "try" and "want-to" in them. When you allow a horse or rider to get frustrated or confused you lose ground. I would rather gain a little ground than lose any. I ride a horse and when everything is good, I get off and to let them know that things are good. Your horse will be worked 5+ days a week (full training) at trainer's discretion. Weekly lessons are available at no additional cost. I prefer that you learn with your horse. It'll keep from confusing your horse.
The same for you....I take it at your pace but do push when I feel that you are ready for a bump. Each person has a different goal. I am there to help you reach the goals that you have set for yourself if it takes a week, year or lifetime. They are your goals and I respect that. I have been training and showing for over 30+ years. I own too many horses and still love what I am doing. Let me show you the fun and excitement that you can find with your horse partner!
