Mission STatement

Everyone should be passionate about something. For me, my job is that passion. When I can share my knowledge about horses and riding with others, there is no greater sense of accomplishment for me.

Although I enjoy working with a horse, it is a thousand times more fun to help a student understand how to communicate with a horse. At every level of riding, I try to encourage my students to set personal short- and long-term goals.

I like bonding with my students and spending time with them at the barn and at shows. I can get extremely excited when I am standing ring side watching a student. It gives me joy to see them smile as they are riding. It is icing on the cake when a student finally achieves a skill he/she has been working on learning.

I believe everyone should know the unconditional love of a horse. I am thankful every day for the people in my life. I hope I help teach my students as much about life as I teach them about horses. Set goals, work hard, and be thankful.

We are glad you have shown interest in our program and look forward to giving you the quality service which you deserve.
