- We believe that the key to becoming a great rider is to become a
great horse(wo-)man first. Performance in the saddle is a reflection
of your overall horsemanship skills and the relationship you have
with your horse on the ground. That's why we teach our students
beyond 'operating' their horse. We'll help you build a set of skills,
improve your knowledge and understanding on how horses think and
act and how you can positively utilize this to your advantage.
"We train you how to train your horse" ~ Patricia Ruff, Instructor
Lessons are tailored to the individual needs and are focused on your
personal goals,therefor we mainly teach private lessons. This way you
receive the attention of the instructor at all times and important details
won't be overlooked. No need to keep up with a group, because you set the
pace. (Clinics can be arranged for groups)
Fees:
45 minute private lesson $35 for boarders, $45 for outside clients.
Don't have your own horse? Please contact us, we can provide a horse, but
only use our personal horses for lessons sparingly.
Specialties:
* All phases of Natural Horsemanship, groundwork & in the saddle.
* Helping students overcome fear and (re-)gain confidence.
* Reining/ performance ( body control, lateral movements, softness and
refinement )
* Fixing foundation problems with seasoned horses (examples; jumping
horses refusing to jump, dressage horses dull on leg aids, rodeo horses
stiff in the bridle, etc)
