| What our clients like to share with you: |
"In a few lessons, Patricia has changed the way my horse and I communicate.
Riding now is more fun, easier and safer for the both of us. Patricia is also good
at explaining how to get expected results, not just telling a student what to do. 4
Stars! Clients and horses are equally happy here!"
Scot Buessow, recreational rider. Owner of Loki, 22 yr. old Saddlebred
"Jaran was disrespectful, willful and taking advantage of his size. I had just
recovered from a fall that fractured 4 of my ribs. My confidence was shaky at
best, heading for disaster or about to split ways. Then I moved him to Ruff's
Ranch and signed up for lessons with Patricia. In the first lesson she showed and
taught me to get his attention and respect my personal space. His behavior
improved instantly, bringing tears to my eyes. From then on we've worked with
Patricia and we make steady progress. Jaran has become much more of a
partner now and I've become a much better and confident rider too. I still tear up
at times comparing 'then and 'now', I'm so glad I moved Jaran to the Ruff's,
thanks Patricia!"
Trudy Smith, recreational rider, Owner of Jaran, 10yr. old
Percheron/Quarter horse cross
" I got to know Patricia when auditing one of her clinics a few years ago and was
impressed with her level of horse knowledge. Don is an excellent farrier, making the
two a complete package!
I've learned great horsemanship principles from Patricia. She has the ability to
work within your comfort level and expand those zones. She gives you the tools to
overcome fear and become a better leader and partner with your horse. Even when
you 'don't get it' at the first try, the lessons always end on a good note and
you'll feel successful about what you got accomplished."
