Excellent manners are only the beginning of the progressive training syllabus with Equissance, Inc. There is a strong emphasis on correct basics and reducing the frustration and stress that can sometimes accompany riding. Encouraging the horse to maintain a vitality for life is always a top priority.
Education does not terminate with the training of the horse alone. It is of utmost importance to bring the rider along with the horse so that both may grow together and form a harmonious relationship.
I have had the pleasant experience of working with numerous horses over the years. My continued education on the subject combined with my genuine love for horses encourages me to see my work as more of a hobby than a job. This is because I truly enjoy working with horses and the people who own and love them.
It is my personal goal to pass along the experience, understanding and knowledge to enable horses and riders to reach their potential. I firmly believe you and your horse deserve it.
"The psychological dimension is all too often ignored or neglected, although it is every bit as important as the physical one. As classical horsemen, we study the mind and the language of the horse, in order to learn to understand and to communicate with each individual of the species." -Unknown
"A horse 'held in shape' by his rider is only posturing in a seemingly correct form, usually for the benefit of inexperienced observers." - Charles de Kunffy
"Dressage is a precision sport. The more you learn, the less you really know" -Libby Mc Mullen "
Please note: With simple text, I cannot tell you how to teach your horse to bow. It is actually quite simple, however it requires a great feel for timing and other elements that cannot be shown or expressed with the written word. When it comes to carriage driving as well, remember it is dangerous and you must have professional help for the first few horses you train to drive. It is not at all like riding. If you have other questions though, I am happy to help when time does not restrict it.
