Who should take this course?

If you are serious about your riding then this course is for you. You do not have to be an exceptional rider, trainer or professional; all we ask is that you have a basic –walk – trot and canter seat. What we REALLY want are horse people who are willing to put themselves forward and want to be the best riders that they can be.

Good training starts with a solid foundation. Building on a base of knowledge will provide you with a good base to move forward and grow.

How is this riding camp different than any other course?

This is not a cookie-cutter course. What you will get is individual program suited to you and your riding experience. Each session/lesson will include exercises, tips and program suited to your specific needs.

You will receive training in common techniques, actual HOW TO fix errors. Not just “get the horse rounder” but actual training on HOW TO instruction. You will learn exercises to include in your own training program. Your horse will look amazing and you will look like a genius.

Identify root problems and what subtle differences can be employed to boost your training prowess. Recognize some common riding errors such as heels jiggling, uneven hands and how these effect the horse.
