Horseback Riding Lessons

About

I take a horse centered approach teaching so that, in addition to proper equitation, students learn to truly understand their horses as individuals which ultimately leads to a higher quality of their riding abilities.

I love seeing my students become more than just good riders and grow into true horse people. I seek to foster the ability of my students to understand their horse as an individual and modify their equitation to work with their horses needs for reaching their full potential.

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

I will sit down with the student have a get to know you chat about horses, their experience, what they are looking for. I’ll happily any questions they have for me as well. I use a basic template for planning the learning experience. On day one, the information from the chat will cover the basics. I will then, depending on experience, have the student prepare and ride their horse. I will ease in and work together to find out what is comfortable and what the students skills are and where they need work. Afterwards, I will prepare a learning plan for the student that I will share electronically and/or in person at the following lesson.
