At your place !

Individualized Instruction

If you do not have access to a trainer at your farm or your barn, I will come to you!
All you need is a fairly flat spot to ride, big enough that you can comfortably trot or canter. (approx. 60x40 foot minimum)
I am fully insured, and will gladly supply proof of coverage.
If you board, please, make sure your barn owner accepts outside trainers.

My specialty

Your weakness is my strength! I specialize in developing your seat, your balance, your contact with your horse and understanding the biomechanics of your seat and aids.
Have you ever thought: “I understand what to do, but not why?” Then I am your person.
Dressage and flatwork is an ongoing process that never stops evolving. Regardless of your discipline I can help you build a sustainable relationship with your horse, and increase both your and your horse's athletic ability over time.

Testimonials

“Eva is an extremely caring, knowledgeable instructor for all levels and ages. She tailors every lesson to the horse and rider’s needs. Lessons with her helped greatly restore my confidence in my riding abilities. Genuinely can’t recommend her enough!” -Crystal

“I've taken lessons from Eva for about two years and have grown tremendously in my riding and horsemanship under her mentorship. Not only did I learn mechanics and riding skills but also insights on my horse due to her vast knowledge of equines. Eva also has a great sense for what each riders personality needs whether it be tough love or gentle reminders. After every lesson I always walked away feeling like I had really learned a lot and inspired to keep progressing. You will not regret booking a lesson with her!” -Corrie

“Solid fundamental instruction from the ground up. Her style of teaching builds confidence while challenging the rider” -Sandy... See More
