Like most of us in the horse world, I have had many good instructors, read many good books, and have had a lot of trial and error. I've arrived at my own style of riding and training which is devised from all that I have experienced. So thanks to all those who have shared their philosophies, methods, opinions, and styles with me.
I'm still a believer that good horsemanship is good horsemanship no what the discipline. I'm also a believer that a good horse is a good horse no matter what the breed.
At this stage in my life, I'm focusing on excellence. I've ridden and trained many breeds of horses. I keep coming back to the Lipizzan. This breed tends to offer the challenges and rewards that make horse riding and training interesting.
We currently have a number of Lipizzans and other classically trained horses at our facility. I welcome sharing them with others that have similar interests. Being exposed to a well-trained horse and learning what it took to make that happen can help move your own skills and knowledge at a faster rate.
To train with us, you must be dedicated, open to suggestion and change, you must want to work on your position, you must enjoy caring for the horse, you must be aware of the horse's needs, you must be striving for excellence.
