I specialize in ages 8 through adults. Those with experience or those just beginning. I am a fun, professional, down to earth, instructor who completely loves what she does! I teach everything from a safety standpoint in an atmosphere of encouragement. My lessons are geared toward your goals and include not just riding but, also horsemanship(grooming, saddling, parts of the horse, and lots more).

Your first lesson is an evaluation lesson where we go over what your reasons for wanting to learn to ride are and what you'd like to achieve. During this initial lesson, you'll learn how to safely work around the horse, grooming, tacking-up and of course, you'll ride! This first lesson takes about 90 minutes. This time also gives us both an idea if my teaching methods and style are a good match for you. Feel free to give me a call directly to set-up this initial lesson. I hope to hear from you soon!
