My Work
Training Horses
Over 40 years of experience training horses to ride. I specialize in wild/unhandled horses. We train from the ground up to riding and/or driving. I’m shifting the focus of my training program to driving, but will also offer saddle training. Horses trained here leave with excellent ground manners and work ethic, and exposure to lots of experiences.
Coaching People
I offer training which includes ground work and round-penning. I offer horsemanship and equine care as part of a 90-minute lesson. I strongly believe that if you cannot handle the horse on the ground, you shouldn’t expect that you can under-saddle or in harness. I do not work with children.
Internship
Training the trainer. There are plenty of places to take riding lessons, but not so for “the rest of the horse stuff”. This is an unpaid Internship that offers education in riding, driving, training green horses, handling, nutrition & health, care & ownership, and horsemanship. Internship offers you hands on experience with handling, training, riding, and driving lessons. Potential interns must be at least 18 years old, at least an intermediate rider, have their own transportation, and plan to spend approximately 4 hours per day for 1-3 days per week.
