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.
Students can expect to learn traditional basic horsemanship skills from the ground up. Only when a student has complete control and obedience of the horse on the ground will they be permitted to mount 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.
Students should plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled ride time to groom and tack up the horse or 30-40 minutes early for warming up. Lessons will last approximately 1 hour.

"True riding is an endless search for synchrony and harmony. You can get it today and lose it tomorrow. This search is no overnight affair but a progression of steps, measured in tiny increments of success in an endless journey of challenge and discovery."
