About Me...
 
 
My Resume:
 
I have approximately 17 years experience with horses and have taught riding lessons on and off for 13 years now. I am now offering groundwork training, despooking and riding/horsemanship lessons... private lessons as well as group lessons. My methods are based on natural horsemanship but not specifically with any particular big name trainer. I work diligently with tarps, balloons, flags, plastic bags and other horse eating monsters to "de-spook" horses and have often been complimented on my patience with the horses as well as with the students! With a solid foundation of consistent groundwork, the horses often become much easier to ride and get along with and many bad habits tend to just disappear.
