COMMONSENSE RIDING & HORSE TRAINING LESSONS
The regular lesson program is available to riders who may either trailer in
with their horse or use a well trained WHF horse. The rider gets unmounted exercises to gain correct body alignment,
flexibility, and strength. The horse is taught in-hand exercises to gain respect, trust and communication with the trainer
and to gain self awareness and balance and strength for self carraige. Lunging and long lining training techniques
are included, allowing riders to eventually move into their specific interest of dressage, jumping or western riding.
Lessons are aimed at helping riders reach their short term and long term goals and always end in discussions to ensure
understanding of material.
Help is also available for people wishing to become Centered Riding
Instructors or to move up the Levels.
We take a sincere interest in helping people who
are returning to horses after time off, who may be recovering from an injury or who for various reasons need to regain
their self confidence.
COMMONSENSE HORSE TRAINING
Horses accepted for training should be
3 years of age and sound of mind and body. They receive in-hand work, lunging, long lining, ridden training of your choice
(basic training, dressage, western), and body massage as needed. Owner involvement in the training is encouraged.
We can guide owners with the rehabilitation of injured horses.
