Lessons and Training: Our teaching and training is for horses and riders of all ages, disciplines and abilities. We use classical dressage methods to help improve communication skills, relaxation, obedience, balance and safety. Our 70 x 140 inside arena with bank-run sand footing, mirrors, natural lighting, lights and sound system provides us with a comfortable place to work inside. Outside we have a wonderful trail system with miles of dirt roads, wood trails and challenging terrain which allows us to enjoy nature and improve our physical and mental fitness. Our horses have won many awards in Long Distance Competitions from 25 to 100 miles as well as dressage and eventing. We offer private instruction on our horses or yours; individual help and coaching; mounted or un-mounted therapy with horses; yoga on horseback; long slow distance training; CTR clinics with ECTRA Judge to help you prepare for competition. |
