Horseback Riding in Victor, Montana (Ravalli County)

Connected Horsemanship is an integrative approach to riding and training using holistic care, equine psychology, bio-mechanics and classical principles. Specializing in Western Dressage, trail and Equine Psychology. I have worked with trainers in many disciplines including dressage, working cow horse, Craniosacral body work, Horse Agility and Doma Vaquera. I also completed the first Western Dressage Association of America's Train the Trainers program. My overall goal is to create reliable, all around horses with a good work ethic, and teach calm, confident, balanced riders.

I provide team roping and break away roping schools an private lessons, speacializing in Heeling and Heading learning how to make consistent runs working as a team. I have been giving roping instructions and competing in Rodeo since 1982. I have had great success in helping people learn and understand the fundamentals of roping. I try and keep this limited to 4 easy to understand fundamentals so you can concentrate on what to do right instead of worrying about all of the things that can go wrong. Contact me so we can schedule a lesson so I can teach you your PSTD. I have a very nice indoor and outdoor facility that can host many events. We are only 15 miles from Missoula 7 miles up Us Hwy 12 W. from Lolo Mt.... See More

My business is close to Msla and boasts a beautiful 80x120 indoor arena, a large colorful jump field, reliable lesson horses/ponies and lessons tailored to your riding level/personal goals. If you have your own horse and trailer you can haul to my place or I can meet you at our lovely local equestrian park, The Big Sky Horse Park.
I teach both English and Western to riders of all ages and all levels. My strengths are in the jumping arena. I really enjoy teaching young horses and riders to jump! I also have lots of experience with the basics and am always happy to pass on my knowledge!
If you have a horse you are uncomfortable trial riding I would be excited to help educate you both and build your confidence! I take clients in my lesson program trail riding in small groups(total of 4 riders including myself) so we can trot on the trails! We go for an hour and a half and students are welcome to be much more involved than just riding on the trail. They can help with catching the horses, loading the tack and the horses, grooming, tacking up and unsaddling and of course giving treats!
There is sometimes a horse or pony available for a half lease so if interested contact me and we can see if there is a horse available that fits your riding level and goals!... See More
