What's Holding You Back in Your Horse-Life?

Are you looking for a boost of inspiration, to re-experience the joy of working with your horse? Since 2005, I've been working professionally with riders and horses of all ages, levels and disciplines, in all kinds of environments; My passion is in helping people get un-stuck, to experience their horsemanship in a new way, and to truly enjoy the life they live with their horses.
Riders in my lessons learn how to achieve better two-way communication with their horse and take part in the journey turning their horse into a better athlete and partner. We work on balance and locomotion, connection, timing and communication for a happier, more willing partnership -- AND they learn the Why behind all of it, so it's knowlege retained.
I have a talent for connecting horsemanship ideas to bigger life ideas, and breaking down information into bite-sized chunks, to ultimately help you improve issues in balance/mobility, lightness and greater struggles of fear and confidence. Working with horses should be FUN!
I will travel to you, or you can haul to my barn in Fall City - I have a large outdoor, lit, all-weather arena. I work rain or shine, so long as conditions are safe for a successful training session.

TRAINING and LESSONS
At my barn or yours, let me help you and your horse develop a better partnership through efficiency in equitation, communication, bio-mechanics. All disciplines, for show or recreation; groundwork and riding, fitness conditioning with emphasis on What your Horse Needs from You.
Please note, I am not currently providing school horses for lessons.
Also, I do not currently have availability for a board/train situation.
Single Session Rates--
My barn or yours, 1 hour Session within 20 miles of Fall City: $90
(mileage fee may be added for locations outside the 20 mile range)
(Longer sessions (ie, trail training) may be booked in advance for a reduced rate)
Semi-Private Lesson (up to a 1.5 hour session, for 2 riders): $70 per rider
(Additional charges may apply for use of lesson horse or travel)
Mini Clinic (up to 4 hours, 3-5 riders): $65 per rider

NEW! Remote Lessons Introductory price of $50 -- Includes my time spent reviewing your riding video prior to a scheduled 30-45 minute Zoom call with you to talk through my analysis - specifically your equitation, technique, what you're doing well and tips for improvement. Post-call, I'll send you a video of our conversation to refer back to later!
GENERAL INFORMATION and POLICIES
Single Sessions are private (unless otherwise agreed on) and run approximately 1 hour from beginning to end and may include grooming, tacking up, and groundwork. Additional rides or time within a scheduled session may be added at any time for additional cost. Group Sessions run a bit longer, I block off about 2 hours.
Monthly packages (unless otherwise stated) include a guaranteed number of lessons per horse with travel included and are designed to be used within the month paid. Special packages for multiple horses are available, designed on a per-client basis. Packages to be paid in full at the 1st of each month, unless agreed upon otherwise. I will accept payment weekly or bi-monthly, charged at the single session rate. Session hours may be combined or distributed differently through the month, as I determine. I reserve the right to combine your session with another training ride or lesson if applicable.
Weather Policy I teach in all weather - rain or shine - so long as conditions are safe for you and your horse to have a productive lesson. That said, everyone has a different threshold for weather, and if you're uncomfortable (cold/wet/etc), you won't get what you need out of your session; I will be in touch on bad weather days to strategize and reschedule if needed.
Canceled/Rescheduled Sessions I understand things come up, and we have to shift to make things work. I promise to give you plenty of notice if I have to make changes to our schedule and likewise, I will do everything I can to accommodate you as well. I will always prefer to reschedule, and will offer that where able.
Any change to a scheduled session made less than 24 hours in advance, will be charged in full for the session
