Lessons
Sandy supports you and your horse by offering in-hand education along with theory, before doing any riding. Every thing that you learn in-hand transfers into the saddle. Obstacles, patterns, and exercises in-hand and then done in the saddle are fabulous for your horse's confidence. Sandy works on Foundation Horsemanship - the ingredients needed to have a horse that loves his job, is willing, brave, confident and develops into that partner you've been dreaming of.

Working Equitation clinics
Foundation and Dressage are the basis of Working Equitation (WE). WE helps your horse to be calm, responsive and supple, balance on the haunches, and develop sweet spots amongst the obstacles. WE sessions are two to three hours of ground work, riding, and obstacle exploration. At the end of each lesson, practice your flow and impulsion while riding the obstacle course!
Please note that WE clinics are small to give individual attention - 4 riders maximum.
