Training
Before training can begin you must find the right horse for
you. In order to get the best horse possible within your
price range, you need to have the ability to distinguish
between an average horse and a horse with the potential
to become a first place winner. I have helped countless
people find the horse of their dreams and I can help you
as well.  Once you own that special horse and place it in
training with me, it is my job to help you keep it polished
and ready for any level of competition. Training needs vary
with every horse and rider, so first we will sit down and
have a consultation on what your needs and expectations
are.
Once we have a plan to follow, the training will start immediately. My training methods are designed
to enable you to be able to ride the horse so that both the horse and rider can excel in my training
program. I train the horse with steps that are easy to follow and any level rider can learn.
Lessons
I feel once your horse is polished and ready to ride,
it is imperative that you are able to guide the horse
through its moves to the best of its ability. In the
lessons, I carefully explain to the rider how to
position their hands, seat and legs to enable the
horse to perform various maneuvers. With this
simplistic style of training, the rider should then be
able to practice on his or her own what we worked
on during the week. If this is done, we can then
move forward with the next lesson.
Show Coaching
This is an area in which I go to the horse shows with the rider,
whether it is a local one-day show or a multi-day breed show.
The fee for a multi-day show consists of meals, lodging if
needed, and a predetermined fee. At the shows, I ride the
horse if it needs trained before a class. I also review the
patterns and explain what the judge is looking for at each
maneuver.

Furthermore, before entering each class, I explain to the rider
what they should do in the class as well as make sure their
attire is neat and professional. Finally, I help groom the horse
and use various show products to insure the horse will look
and perform to the best of its ability.
Sales and Acquisitions

Selling - I will assist you to sell your horse including assisting with making a professional video
to show your horse to its best ability.  The horse will be marketed through various contacts.  There
is a 8% commission on the final sale price of the animal.

Acquisitions - I will help you to search for your next horse.   Additionally, I will review videos and
provide guidance as to which horses are worth investing a trip to see it in person.  I will
accompany you on the trip and provide professional feedback on the horse's performance.  
Additionally, I will manage the pre-purchase exam with the veterinarian.
