What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Introduction, asking about the students horse experience, safety, asking student goals, barn tour, overseing the tacking process, evaluation of the rider on ground and saddle, Discussing goals in the lessons, starting the work session, gives lots of exercises for horse and rider with all the theory behind solving issues, and the cause and effect through out the schooling session. This gives a great understanding of how to help yourself as a rider, help your horse and why. At the end during cool down I ask questions and review understanding.

How did you get started teaching?
I have been teaching from the time I was a teenager! I then furthered my education to become the best instructor I saw possibly. My goal is to help people become more skilled through an effective language of communication, with finesse, educated, and methodical techniques for all horse owners, riders, competitors, trainers and handlers! I feel advocating formal knowledge invites a more humane partnership approach inducing a more well rounded horse community with the horses wellbeing front and center! I have spent my entire life of time training with the elite professionals of the equine community studying, sharpening and honing down my abilities approach to become one with the horse in the dance of horsemanship and unity. Contouring and Configuring to the horses mental and physical needs develops a happy pleasurable, athletic, educated, sensitive cohesive relationship to enjoy for both horse and rider!

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
ask questions about the instructors formal educational background
make sure they base what ever discipline they teach on Dressage fundamentals
I believe you need to be able to produce what you teach
Make sure the horses wellfare is first
remember, “where anger begins,learning ends” for riders and horses!
Remember, “riding is a life lesson”! Watch for people who take short cuts, skipping basics, looking for instant gratification and using force instead of finesse, to create development and understanding! Its not in the best interest of the horse to rush or overface and it will skip needed elements to continue successfully up the levels of training.
