Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first lesson consists of an evaluation of the rider's personality and skill level to match the horse. Abigail assists in the process of catching, grooming, tacking, and preparing the horse with the student each lesson until they are able to do so independently and correctly. It is recommended that beginners take 2 lessons weekly to accelerate the process of learning and comprehension.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Abigail has 18+ years experience teaching a variety of students. She has worked along side many professionals to culminate a plethora of knowledge and experience in the equine industry.

How did you get started teaching?
Abigail began teaching when she was 18 years old, helping novice horse owners learn how to be fundamentally correct.
What types of students have you worked with?
Abigail has taught students from total beginners to advanced and as young as 4 years old to 65 years old.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Abigail is fond of all her students and simply can't single one out but when her students "click" with a difficult concept, it is victory. She loves to see the light bulb turn on for a young rider that struggles with coordination or an emotionally withdrawn student blossoms through their relationship with the horse.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
My advice is to find someone that can break down the fundamentals, explain complex concepts, and help you become the best that you can be.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
1. Can I afford to commit to this?
2. What measures are taken to increase my safety?
3. What equipment do I need?
