Lessons

We teach students to ride the horse, not the saddle.  Students learn balance, communication and "soft hands" before moving to saddle and bridles. Students can always choose "no saddle".  Students learn to ride without a bit (before using a bit if necessary).  Bits are required for showing in English disciplines but not for Western events.  We have an indoor and outdoor arena. 

Leslie Roach has 30 years of experience in training horses and fixing “problem horses”. Her unique (New Options) methods of training are very successful.


The horses and ponies we use, we have rescued and rehabilitated.
