I’m thankful for our winters due to the fact that our curriculum was completed for this super fun and rewarding gig of coaching horse riding. This includes detailed introductory lesson, progressive plans, unmounted lessons in case of not so pleasant riding outside, journaling and internship opportunities.

We encourage riding and learning from other people in the horse world too, perspective and discussion will open a whole new world of opportunities! Now go ride your horse and have a blast!

Our curriculum does include a drawing from Phil Haugen Horsemanship workbook and he has given me permission to use with our students from his copyright stamp. Please consider attending one of his clinics if you have an opportunity.

We are thankful to ride ND Here Kitty Kitty after our multi discipline talented horse trainer Danielle Fladeland had her in AZ this winter. This horse was started by Jason Anderson, now it’s my turn to ride. Welcome home back to the prairie! FYI she’s of course wearing 2 blankets to stay warm‼️
