In our lessons program we teach from the ground up and from the inside out. This means that your attitude and frame of mind will influence how your horse performs. Also, how you handle the horse on the ground in the stall and tack up area will determine his respect and trust in you. We offer lessons for the adult beginner to the competitive rider who wants to improve their game. A unique component of this program is something we call Cowboy Dressage. In a multi discipline barn we have seen the positive effects of learning across disciplines. Horsemanship is horsemanship- whatever the shape of your saddle. And good horsemanship is all about your balance and confidence and the horses fitness and flexibility. It is light hands and impulsion coming from behind.

"Although from a different technical background, Gerry is able to draw on his western resources to creatively solve horse training issues- including dressage training issues. He addresses the conditioning, flexibility and relaxation required for the freedom of movement necessary in any discipline. Most importantly, Gerry recognizes that each equine athlete has a unique temperament and works within this framework to develop their skills and confidence."

"Gerry has excellent knowledge of the horse's physical and psychological needs.

His common sense approach to training and his understanding of the horse's mind and physical development allowed my horse and I to achieve the rhythmic and balanced unity that we had been searching for. Gerry helped me with the development of my hands and seat so I encouraged my horse's engagement from back to front. "
