🐎 Lesson Openings Available! 🐎

A few lesson spots have just opened for older children, teens, and young adults who are advanced beginner to intermediate riders—comfortable at walk/trot and ready to lope, or already lope-confident and looking for a more serious program with competitive opportunities and guidance toward future horse ownership.

Due to our smaller program and limited lesson horses, I take riders selectively to ensure each student gets the most out of their lessons. Beginner lesson spots are full, but I maintain a waitlist for new riders.

💡 All lessons are private, one-on-one, giving each rider personalized attention and maximizing every session.

We go to shows frequently, have horses available for the right riders to lease, and provide extra learning experiences to develop horsemanship—from WSCA games and barrels to general riding skills.

🌟 Our lesson horses aren’t just safe and reliable—they’re also competitive. Students learn on horses that can teach and perform, building the skills and confidence to excel in lessons, shows, and beyond. I focus on developing not only strong competitors but well-rounded horsemen and women.

🏆 This year, several of my students placed in the Top 10 at WSCA Championship Show, and I love seeing riders achieve their goals at every level.

🏇 For the right student, lease opportunities may be available, opening doors to shows, clinics, trail rides, and experiences usually reserved for horse owners. Even without a lease, there are countless ways to grow, learn, and compete.

If you’re looking for a program that offers big opportunities, personalized instruction, and real growth—regardless of horse ownership, and are serious about improving your riding, I’d love to connect!

📩 Message me to discuss details or to book a trial lesson to see if our program is the right match for you or your rider.

This powerful documentary follows the emotional journey of a wild mustang’s rescue and the fight to reunite him with his family after a devastating government roundup. With unprecedented access to insiders and whistleblowers, Blue Zeus exposes a system of cruelty while celebrating the unbreakable bond between wild horses and the people who refuse to give up on them.

Update: These lesson spots are filled but if you're interested in getting on my waitlist for future openings please feel free to send me a message 😊

I have some rare openings in my lesson schedule for some certain level riders-

1 opening for a beginner child rider that is able to independently walk/steer on their own.

2 openings for advanced beginner to intermediate older child/teen/young adult that is able to ride walk trot lope independently and has an interest in getting into WSCA games/barrel racing.

Due to being a smaller program and having only a handful of lesson horses, I can only take certain level riders at different times to evenly distribute the lesson schedule over my awesome lesson horses.

If you or someone you know fits one of these criteria and is interested in joining, please feel free to reach out to me directly for more information or to secure a spot. I look forward to hearing from you!
