Just a short drive from Sacramento, Roseville, Rio Linda or Antelope, individual and small group lessons are
available on well-mannered and uncomplicated school horses.
Classes are kept small to enhance personalized instruction and to provide plenty of individual attention.
"I can take you from ‘beginner’ to as far as you want to go, including advanced jumping!
My goal is to enhance your ‘feel’ and understanding, thereby creating confidence in your
equine interaction and, most importantly, allowing you to have fun while learning!"
"You will learn to understand the horse’s behavior and the importance of respect for each other’s space.
Appropriate and safe behavior around the horse, both mounted and on the ground is emphasized.
You will learn the importance of FOCUS both mentally and physically while on and off the horse.
Above all I want to create relaxation and enjoyment in riding and bonding with our equine friends,
no matter what your individual goals are!"
