Lessons are one hour to one hour fifteen minutes: 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.  Handouts, booklets, other suggested reading material will be given to you, plus video tapes of certain sessions. The rider will receive a progress report, verbal or written, on their riding progression. If riding your own horse an evaluation of your horse's learning ability in conjunction with the rider’s goals. Riders who are riding my horses will receive a progress report, written and/or verbal, on their horsemanship skills.  

A special discount is given to family members (2 or more enrolled at the same time). Semi-private lessons are for two-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.

My specialty is training the “back-yard” horse and rider into champions, but all aspects of horsemanship and sportsmanship are covered in the lessons.  I'm always available by phone or e-mail for additional horse related questions. Coaching at local LVR, North County, and California Gymkhana Association (CGA) shows are at no additional charge for my continuous students if I’m already scheduled to attend the show. If I’m not all ready bringing my horses to a show then a lesson fee plus mileage will be charged. Commitment from horse and rider is important in the training/coaching process.  Four lessons may be scheduled and paid for in advance to secure a guaranteed day and time. Individual lessons must be paid at the time of service rendered.  My lesson schedule is extremely tight. Therefore except in a medical emergency or sickness 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 are always welcome to watch the lesson in progress. Small children must be supervised at all times. All riders, family, friends who are on my ranch or around my horses must sign a liability release.
