DISCOVER THE JOY OF HORSES & RIDING
Have you ALWAYS wanted to learn to ride horses, but were never sure where to start?
Did you ride when you were younger & now want to start riding again as an adult because you remember how AMAZING riding & spending time around horses is?
Are you NEW to riding and don't own your own horse?
We Understand...
REASON #1
You are not sure how to fix issues you are having with your horse. You go to the tack store to buy more gadgets & bigger bits, which only leads to more frustration & it doesn't even solve the problem.
REASON #2
You are unsure of how to create a training plan that develops your horse in a way that keeps your horse happy, relaxed & looking forward to their work.
REASON #3
You don't know how to read your horse & unknowingly push your horse to do too much too soon or work on too many things during a training session, which overwhelm your horse & leaves you frustrated.
REASON #4
Everything seems to work at home, but when you go away to a show everything completely falls apart.
IS YOUR HORSE TENSE & ACTING OUT?
Does it feel like no matter what you do you just CAN'T seem to get your horse to RELAX & enjoy their work? Does it seem like your horse can't even remember what you just TAUGHT them?
Is your horse anxious & tense? Is your horse HOT & you feel like this is just how your horse is & they can't change? Is your horse SPOOKY? Have they developed a bolting, rearing or bucking problem?
ENJOY RIDING AGAIN!
No matter your horse's age, breed or riding discipline we can help your horse become a happy & RELAXED horse who not only will perform BETTER, but will also look forward to their work.
We have a PROVEN system that can help any horse no matter if they are anxious, a bolter, have developed bucking or rearing problems or more. Our system has helped many riders & their horses achieve SUCCESS & enjoy riding again.
HORSES TEACH MORE THAN JUST RIDING

TESTIMONIALS
Amy is truly a unicorn of an instructor! I started seeing improvements in my riding and confidence after my first lesson with her. The atmosphere she creates at her barn is one that feels warm, and it’s obvious right away just what a labor of love this is for her. I would recommend Amy and her barn 10 times over!!
Angela Bennett
Amy is the best trainer I have seen in a very long time. She is always learning & trying to find better and kinder methods that are always fair to the horse. I don't know many people who can restart & retrain a fresh off the track Thoroughbred to where they are slow enough & quiet enough for an 8 year old child to ride! Any horse Amy works with will be happy, confident & look forward to their work.
Kelly Banks
Amy is a knowledgeable and patient instructor and trainer. She takes excellent care of her horses, and she has the safest lesson horses in the area. She puts the horses’ needs first and goes above and beyond for them! We also bought a horse from Amy, and she is exactly as described and an absolute joy!
