What types of students have you worked with?
I have taught ages 7 to 75, lifelong horse owners to first rides. I do not have a preference on skill level for the rider, I love a student that is enthusiastic to learn and improve.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Ensure the teacher has a proper and solid education to be training horses and humans. Observe students under this trainer and check that they are making consistent progress, no matter how small, and humans and animals are kept safe in the process. There are no requirements to call yourself a horse trainer, so be cautious of who you hire.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What is your motivation to pursue horse riding?
This is a sport and requires dedication to see improvement and remain safe, am I able to do so?
