I have worked and trained with nationally recognized clinicians and have extensive education in Natural Horsemanship. I specialize in trailer loading, colt starting, problem horses and fear related issues in both horse and or human.
I look forward to helping you reach your goals in trail riding, western and/or dressage.
“It is about mutual respect built on foundation, getting the horse soft in the ribcage & reins, responding to you.”
Lessons Can start with ground work to develop the RELATIONSHIP you will have in the saddle. LETS GET READY FOR THE UPCOMING SHOWS OR TRAILRIDES. Maybe you would just like your horse to load quiet and safe. Lessons can be held in my round pen or arenas, on a trail ride, in my pond, or at your home. See "ABOUT ELLIE" for more detail. Training In the process of training and teaching young horses - I became a student of the horse and of natural horsemanship.Simply put, it is now a way of life for me.I have always felt training natural is not natural for the human, but it is everything to the horse." Developing feel-it is universal to all horses and receives quick & long lasting results. Training starts in the round-pen and follows with my ground work system. ALL ground work I use - transfers over to use in the saddle. Later, as in everything- ground work is condensed to my quick precise advanced check. This allows a great transfer of what is expected of them prior to being rode. I expose the horses to as much as possible - see Training and Consignment photos. It is so rewarding and fulfilling to offer a good start and solid foundation so the horses owner can go right into whatever discipline they desire.
My goal - to create a solid foundation through understanding, mutual trust and respect as their leader. Achieve this by using feel. Build softness and willingness without use of intimidation, equipment gimmicks or harsh bits.
SUPERVISION & SAFETY- Personalized attention starts at the beginning with safety the 1st consideration - fun is the 2nd consideration.
CONFIDENCE -A groundwork system to develop the relationship you want to have in the saddle - building confidence & safety for both horse and rider.If you don't have leadership with the horse on the ground, you will not have control in the saddle where you are more vulnerable.
I specialize with fear issues with the horse or with the human.
PROGRESSION - I have several horses with different personalities and various levels of training for lessons.
Lessons & training relates to all equestrian disciplines. I follow classical Dressage& Vaquero bridle traditions.
NATURAL TRAINING:Developing control over the horse with leadership so the respect flows on an equal basis.This is achieved by learning and applying their language of herd dynamics, their natural instincts and behaviors tocreate a solid foundation through relaxation and understanding.
Training "naturally" has been my passion and deepest rewards.
