Are you and your horse feeling a little stuck? Maybe you are hitting the same plateau over and over. Or you can’t quite figure out why your schooling rides have inconsistent results. Maybe you have a new horse and you’re both trying to figure how to ride together as a team.

The Fresh Eyes service series is designed to give experienced riders a new perspective on their horses and riding partnerships. Through focused observation, customized biomechanics exercises and creative schooling techniques, we help you build awareness of your horse’s movement, signals and expression. Sessions are designed to complement(rather than replace) discipline specific lessons. The Fresh Eyes services include:
