Terry shows riders how to communicate with their horses in a simple user friendly non-abusive way. Keeping the horses happy, riders and horses safe and having fun are her primary goals. Becoming a good rider and developing nice horses is a lot of work but the rewards are well worth it.
“My mission is to help people communicate and understand what truly makes a horse happy so that they can have that relationship and partnership they want with their horses. I love riding, training and showing horses. For me, showing is how I measure how successful I am with my training. But the real success is when one of my students rides, trains and shows his or her own horse. That is the ultimate success for me: helping riders reach their goals with their own horses.” Terry has acquired a wide range of experience and training throughout her career. Her background includes showing Appaloosas for almost 20 years at the regional and world levels, judging for over 10 years, riding and showing side-saddle, 4-H and Pony Club, dressage, hunt seat, barrel racing, hunter paces and fox hunting. She has shown at the prestigious Upperville, Washington International and Pennsylvania National Horse Shows, Bull Ride Mania and almost every where in between.
Students can expect to learn traditional basic horsemanship skills from the ground up.. The riding portion of the lesson consists of warm up exercises for the horse and rider, the lesson plan and a homework plan depending on each individuals' needs. Lesson plans emphasize the balanced seat, safety, rider position, control, rhythm, proper use of aids and horse psychology.
New students are encouraged to visit the farm and watch a riding lesson. Call (717) 240-0723 for available times.
