Lessons
We offer private, semi-private and group lessons on our horses or yours. Alan travels in a 30 mile radius and Leigh works at Joy Ranch. A 45 to 60 minute lesson is $50 and can be: a riding lesson on a lunge line, ground work, arena riding, relaxed off-property dirt road/trail riding, mounted meditation, and horse knowledge in general.
Our primary focus is on the rider/handler increasing their mind and body awareness as they affect the horse. We believe that if the horse is opposing the handler, there is something the handler needs to adjust physically or mentally. We help each student in understanding the balance of relaxation, knowledge, timing and assertion.
Since our attention is mostly on body awareness, the discipline doesn`t really matter. We do have extensive knowledge of breed disciplines: hunt seat and western pleasure, saddle seat and halter, Alan also drives in harness. Our personal preference is dressage and most of our riders use dressage or all purpose saddle.
Local riders can haul in for a small group Centered Riding lesson for just $30 per rider! Call today to schedule!
Training
We offer full service care, conditioning, rehab/training programs on a limited, individual basis at our private facility. Please contact us for more information.
Body Work
Having worked with veterinarians, massage therapists and chiropractors for numerous years, Alan became interested in doing body and energy work. Beginning with our personal horses, he realized he could keep a horse more comfortable in between acupuncture / chiropractor visits. In time, he found he could limit some of those professional visits altogether by doing maintenance body work. Gradually, as he was working with students, he would see a horse uncomfortable in a way he thought he could help and began doing body work on students` horses. Now, he has clients who compete at top levels who use him for their horses` physical/energetic wellbeing.
