Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
New students will learn how to "tack" the horse (grooming, saddling, bridling), make the horse stop (2 different ways), how to make a horse move out at all three gaits (walk, trot, and canter/lope), what to do in emergency situations, how to steer left, right and backwards (direct reigning), and how to read a horse's body language and communicate effectively.
Moving through the program, students will learn how to control the horse's shoulders/hindquarters, how to neck reign, rollbacks, collection, and how to stop without using the reigns. Once students complete the intermediate riding skills with confidence, trail riding or advanced riding is available.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I teach, train, and practice the world famous Clinton Anderson "Method."
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Lessons begin at $75 per hour. Minimum lesson time: 60 minutes. Maximum lesson time: 2 hours. Lessons flexibility is available - for example: a brother and sister both want to learn how to ride so a 90 minute lesson is booked for $115. Sister rides for 45 minutes and brother rides for 45 minutes.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with military veterans, children as young as 12 through adults as old as 70, retirees looking to pick up a new hobby, young adults looking for riding refreshers, and children/adults who have never been on a horse before!
