Our Instructors
Because we've found that good horsemanship transcends disciplines, we welcome any type of horse or rider.  Our dressage,natural horsemanship and beginning riding backgrounds are particularly strong, but we have experience with gaited horses, western pleasure, barrel-racing, trail riding and hunter jumper disciplines.  We especially invite you to discover what natural horsemanship techniques can do for your relationship with your horse and effectiveness as a rider by attending one of our clinics or taking a lesson.  All of our instructors are certified in the state of MA.  Please feel free to contact us for more information about your particular horsemanship goals.
