Instruction

Groups: Free 2 hour demonstration for children's groups (ie. homeschoolers, 4-H, Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts). Includes demonstrations horse care and handling, and a horse ride for each child.

I do not teach a traditional lesson where a student comes and rides a horse that is all tacked up and ready to go.
Each student must learn from the ground about horses, as well as in the saddle. If a student can learn how a horse thinks, moves and reacts to different situations, body movements and signals, it will make her or him a better horse person.

The experiences we learn from ground work carry over to riding. Students gain confidence when working on the ground with horses. Students will learn to groom, feed, saddle and bridle a horse.
You do not need any experience to start lessons just the desire to learn.



Safety is number #1. Students will need some basic equimpent to get started: a well fitting helmet, riding boots and gloves to start. Riding pants are nice but not needed to start. This spring and summer we will be holding day camp and clinics for children. Lessons are available on Monday, Tuesdays, Friday afternoon and the weekends.

I very much enjoy teaching people about horses and riding. It is not always all about the obvious. People who are around horses learn respect, responsibilty, self-discipline, confidence, patience, and hard work.

Please feel free to call or to schedule a visit or a lesson. Gift Certificates are also available.
