Let us welcome you to Thunder Plains Flame and Glory Farm! First I would like to say that I have 14 year experience in most disciplines and recently have been Certified through Riding instructors of America. Check out our photos and then come and enjoy the fun and relaxation of being around one of the most beautiful creatures God could have made. Thunder Plains Farm is a family riding school-we are not fancy(-but extremely safe, low cost and fun to work with. Now, down to the riding business-for your riding lesson you will have a single horse to master-we teach Western and English basics and advanced-most younger riders start in a Western saddle for balance and safety. I offer western, English, beginner and low level jumping, trail and just safe riding techniques. Leasing programs are available on several horses to show and ride. Lessons are all year round-the weather permitting. Beginners will learn care for the horse ,tacking up and safety first. I am very supported and will assist until not needed. Most lessons are 1 hour sessions for ages 8 and up. I offer a 30 minute lesson for 5-7 year olds. You pay for a month upfront and receive a discount if you have 3 family members or friends riding. If you would like to just ride once here and there I can work with you and your financial needs.
My technique is based on safety, natural horsemanship and dressage.
Trailering to trail rides and horse shows are an option at additional fees. I also start young horses under saddle from ground work to riding in the saddle. I have several horses I've trained that I can show. Please feel free to call me at or E-mail me directly at ... See More
