USEA CERTIFIED LEVEL II
All training programs are adapted to each horse and rider to challenge and build confidence so that each student can realize their full potential. Rider confidence is paramount for the horse to perform in an easy, relaxed manner. Rider effectiveness comes from identifying and acquiring skills to achieve goals.
Key elements of our program:
-Maintaining a sense of “serious fun"
-Positive reinforcement with realistic skill assessment
-Improving the mind body connection in the rider
-Understanding the horse's point of view
-Commitment, consistency, and challenge
