I offer lessons in all three phases of eventing and prefer to work privately with students
or in small groups. My specialty is with beginning and intermediate students. Together
we concentrate on safety, correct balance and seat, confidence in the riding experience,
and continued progress towards the students personal goals. My background in
education allows me to be flexible with different learning styles and personalities. I
enjoy the relationships I build with each and every student and look forward to working
with every horse and rider combination. School horses are available on a limited basis.
Trailer-ins are welcome.

seasoned show veteran.
My personal experience working with horses includes almost thirty years of riding, over
twenty years showing, and over ten years breaking young horses. I do not subscribe to
any one single training method, but instead have built my own philosophies based
upon the experiences of many horsemen and horsewomen that have come before me. I
continue to further my education by regularly riding with other local trainers, participating
in clinics as a rider, and researching training information specific to the individual
horses I work with. I aim to create supple, happy horses that respond willingly to the
riders aids and are confident in their work. Each horse is treated with the respect of an
individual and their training progresses accordingly.
