My Philosophy

My philosophy is "keep the training simple". Make the right thing easy and the wrong thing difficult. Always reward the smallest change and slightest try. I combine these techniques with exercise, discipline, and affection to achieve the desired results.

My Business

I enjoy working with young horses and starting them under saddle. I do more than just get them saddle broke. My horses are soft and supple from head to tail, light in the bridle and responsive to the riders cues. My goal is to create a balanced horse mentally and physically. Whether it's starting under saddle or working on behavior issues I strive to teach each horse to be relaxed and confident. I don't specialize in a specific breed or discipline, all horses can benefit from my training.

What I do

Horses are worked six days a week, rain or shine. I do a combination of ground work and saddle work. All horses are taken out on trail rides. This helps reinforce the arena lessons and puts a better handle on them, as well as miles. I also ride in many different locations to expose the horse to new environments and experiences.

Before each horse goes home it is recommended that the owners come out and observe or even ride if possible. The owners need to have an active roll at the end of training for a seamless transition.
