Lessons & Training
Riders choose my program because they desire a sound, harmonious relationship with their horse.
I have systematically built my program with thoughtful, patient training techniques and an array of exercises that help riders achieve their goals. I teach balance, strength training, rider and horse position, and conceptual understanding of classical dressage work that will bring you to your best partnership.
