Horsemanship Instructions

My lesson structure is to work with individuals and their personal (or leased) horses. All private lessons are tailored to the individual's needs, based on their experience, the education of their horse, and their horsemanship goals. 

 

My goal is to establish a safe partnership between horse and rider; therefore, my instruction includes direction on how to communicate with your mount regardless of the horse’s skill level or your choice of discipline. My advanced students will not only be able to ride well and stay safe, but will be skilled horsemen and women that will have the knowledge to continue teaching their horse and excel in any discipline they choose.

 

Appropriate riding attire including riding boots and jeans/breeches are required as well as helmets for all riders under 18 years. 

Private Lessons

I primarily offer private lessons to allow for more individualized instruction that caters to the specific needs of my students and their horses.

​

$75 per 90 minute lesson

$225 Two Lesson Package (each lesson is 2 hours)

$125 per 2 hour lesson at your location

Group Lessons

I do offer group lessons periodically and as the interest arises. These lessons are kept to small numbers, are filled with depth to expand your knowledge of horsemanship, and are usually organized according to age, skill level, or topic. If you don't see what you are looking for and have a group of friends that may be interested, just ask!   

​

Kid's Group

​Details coming soon.

 

Adults Groups

No Group Lessons scheduled at this time.

 

Lessons will be focused on establishing a partnership between horse and rider. Riders will learn and practice technical skills that will improve leadership and consistency, as well as improving both the rider's and the horse's balance in body and mind. Many lessons will consist of both ground work and mounted work. A rope halter with 10-12 foot lead is highly recommended but not necessary. Each session will be limited to a maximum of 5-6 riders to insure enough personal attention and to allow for specific issues to be addressed as much as possible.

Clinics and Demonstrations

I offer a 4 hour clinic or 6 hour clinic setting that allows for a concentrated training session. All my clinics include time to discuss horsemanship theory. Moderators are encouraged to come and can typically audit for free. Owners/handlers are expected to participate and will be working with their horses the majority of the time.

 

Private Clinic
Private clinics will include a combination of both you and I working with the horse. This is a great option for those who are unable to trailer their horse or are located outside the Mission Valley. 

​

$250 for a 4 hour private clinic

$400 for a 6 hour private clinic

​

Group Clinic
Group clinic settings are an awesome opportunity to grow in your horsemanship and share the cost with others. Clinic hosts will be responsible for providing an appropriate location and collecting payments from all participants. Contact me for details if you are interested in hosting a clinic. A minimum of two participants is required.

​

$150 each participant for a 4 hour clinic

$200 each participant for a 6 hour clinic

​

Demonstrations

A demonstration includes plenty of teaching, but does not necessarily require any hands on participation. These can be tailored to the interests of those participating. A minimum of 5 participants is required for a 2 hour demonstration.

​

$25 per moderator with a guarantee of 5 or more participants.
