"look up, heels
down"...

...We teach
you beyond
the
mechanics of
riding and
help you
develop
"feel"......

..... Regardless
of the
discipline you
choose to
ride........

Basic concept:

We believe that the key to becoming a great rider is to

. 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

"I 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)
