  "My teaching philosophy is to provide a positive environment where horse and rider can have a strong relationship together and learn from each other. I strive to  teach all my students good horsemanship skills along with the skills required to be good riders.  I believe in giving riders a strong foundation of balance, rhythm, and use of quiet aids with which to grow in any  discipline they choose.  
   Riders are started slowly, making sure that they understand a skill set before being moved ahead, and are pushed only as quickly as they choose to move up. I believe that Dressage is the basis of all English riding and teach flat work and jumping lessons with an application to Dressage."
