About

Training for beginners or advanced riders. Showing child/adult, amateurs and hunters, jumpers and dressage. Covered riding Arena, upper jumper field and lesson ring plus lunging Hitchcock and cross country jump field.

I love watching students advance in balance and strength. I love seeing that giant smile when a rider is accomplishing something for the first time that was challenging at first.

With the youth of all ages, it's not just about riding. It's about building self-esteem and motivating and encouraging them that they can reach new heights and break the bonds of fear.

    Frequently asked questions

    Each student is evaluated then placed with an appropriate horse for their experience level. Safety first is my motto! Taking it slow and learning a strong foundation is key to becoming a balanced and strong rider.

    More advanced?  A horse that matches your skill level so you can optimize your time in the saddle. 

    I began riding at the age of four. I started showing competitively as a young teenager and at 16 years old I was A young rider at the Canadian Olympic barn. (Miller Brook Farms). I competed with this barn in both hunters and jumpers. I had the opportunity to train with other Olympian's such as Beth Underhill, Gail Greenough, and Jill Henselwood.  

    Lessons are $50 for a package of four for $175

    I work with students from first time riders to advance riders who are showing.
