Welcome to the Arena.

Each "lesson" is something that you can either do yourself or work on with your horse. My personal style of teaching is to present information more in concepts than step-by-step tasks or techniques. Every horse and rider combination is unique so how you apply these concepts in your arena may be slightly different than the next person. I would like to encourage you to make mistakes! Don't try. Don't be careful and it really doesn't matter! You are here to learn and so is your horse.

Think about these concepts, be willing to make mistakes and learn from them and just be curious about how you could go about achieving the results you want. Your horse will be an excellent guide along the way!

True Horsemanship is a personal journey and there are really no short cuts to achieving quality. Everyone must pay the price of learning and gaining experience.

I hope you find these lessons helpful in your journey.
