Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First and foremost, we let them know what the proper, safe attire is to ride a horse.
Every lesson is catered to that new student with safety first. (We teach from age 3 and up.)Many students are very timid and scared their first time, whereas some students jump on and are ready to go.
It takes experience and maturity for the instructor to know what to do with each rider. Typically we start off learning how to be around a horse, how to groom correctly, how to tack up the horse, how to get on and off safely. Each lesson proceeds from there with how to get the horse to walk, stop, and guide. Etc.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve been riding since I was a child. I also showed as a child and an adult. I’ve been professionally teaching for the last 7 years and have had multiple National Champion riders, which is a huge honor!
