Lessons

There are a variety of lesson options: private, semi-private or group lessons.  All lessons take place at Saddle Ridge Farm in Loveland, Colorado.  A $10 trailer-in fee is requested.  Private lessons are 45 minutes to 1 hour.  Semi-private lessons are 1 hour.  Group lessons generally last 1 hour, but depending on group size the lesson may go over an hour.  Rates available upon request. 

Training

It is my pleasure to accept horses into full or partial training.  All training horses must be boarded at Saddle Ridge Farm.  Board rates available upon request.  Full training includes 4-5 sessions per week and partial training includes 2-3 sessions per week.  Generally I will tailor a training program for you and your horse; it may include groundwork, free jumping, lessons, dressage rides, and trail rides.

Judging

In 2006, I passed the United States Dressage Federation (USDF) Learner judge program with distinction.  This allows me to judge schooling shows and Rocky Mountain Dressage Society Shows.  I am also available to judge ride-a-tests.      Rates available upon request.

Shows

For riders interested in private coaching at horse shows, please call me for more information and to check dates in advance.  Travel fees may apply depending on location.

Clinics

Throughout the year I give dressage clinics, "ride-a-test" clinics, natural horsemanship training and more.  Please call me to check dates for your event!  In general, a minimum of 5 horses/riders is required.  (The maximum number of horses and riders can be determined based on how many group lessons versus private lessons will be taught.)  I am also available for public speaking or consultations regarding equine nutrition or simplifying dressage competitions.  Rates available upon request.  Travel fees will apply.

Writing

Occasionally I write freelance articles for magazines, thanks to my educational background in journalism!  I am available for writing articles, copy writing, etc.  Please contact me for more information.
