Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When taking on a new student we always make sure that the first lesson is a private one. We start by learning how to groom and tack up our horse then we proceed into either the roundpen or arena depending on the riders comfortability level. Next we start off by going through all of our basics and make sure we have a good foundation or know where we need to start to create one. Every lesson ends with cooling off our horse, untacking them, and caring for them. Then we will go over with the instructor on how the lesson went and where we will be going from here.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I personally have 16 years of riding and show experience. I have been training other riders and horses for 6 years. I specialize in English equitation, jumping, and hunter jumpers. I also am in school for my veterinary tech license.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Take your time and do your research. Not all instructors are going to mesh well with all students and that's okay. It is important that you and your instructor have a harmonic relationship to help insure your success. A good instructor is always going to be honest with you and shoud encourage and help guide you to reach your potential. Safety is of number one importance for both you and the horse so a good instructor is going to do what is best for you both.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
It's okay to not know exactly what you wish to do when it comes to riding. Your instructor should be able to guide you to what best suits your riding style and goals. One thing to consider before talking with an instructor it is important for you think about what you are looking for in an instructor. How do you learn best? Another important factor is to consider your schedule and how much time you want to put into your riding, so you and the instructor can establish a schedule that works for you both.
