Lessons
Lessons
are for one hour. Lesson plans vary depending on
the horse and rider team and their goals.
All riders will learn the basics of good horsemanship, including
grooming and tacking-up with safety emphasized. All lessons will include
proper warm-up, cool-down and depending on the individual's ability:
pattern work, arena work, trail work and lunging. Recommend
purchasing the Certified Horsemanship Association Composite (Level 1-4)
book as you written and many of your riding test are from the CHA book's
pages. Other handouts,
magazines and suggested reading material will be given to you. We may video tape certain sessions
for more enhanced learning. If riding your
own horse an evaluation of your horse's learning ability in conjunction
with the rider’s goals will be presented verbally or written. Riders who are riding my horses will receive a
progress report, written and/or verbal, on their horsemanship skills.
We also offer unmounted lessons if environmental conditions are unsafe
to ride.
Semi-private
lessons are for two-six riders. Clinic and group rates depend on the
subject matter and length of the lesson. Example programs: General
horsemanship for Scout’s, Barrel racing for beginners,
safety on the trail, etc. Please
call for pricing.

Various aspects of horsemanship, sportsmanship, equine science, horse
behavioral theory, nutrition and more are covered
in the lessons. I'm
available by phone or e-mail for additional horse related questions.
Coaching at North County, and California Gymkhana Association
(CGA) shows for my Ranch Show Team is at no additional charge. For my
weekly students if
I’m not already scheduled to attend the show and you are riding my horses then a lesson fee plus mileage will be
charged, unless you belong to the Ranch Membership Team. Commitment from horse and rider is important in the
training/coaching process. Lessons
need to be scheduled in advance and paid for to secure a guaranteed
day and time. Individual lessons are to paid at the time service is
rendered. You will be charged for any
cancellation of a lesson if you do not notify me within
72 hours
prior to your scheduled lesson.
Parents/grandparents/spouses,
friends
are always welcome to watch the lesson in progress.
Children must be supervised at all times.
All
riders, family, friends who are on my ranch
