We Believe

By defining very clearly different skill levels and what is required at each level, we can ward off against potential problems in the horse-human relationship

Vision

To blend classical riding with natural horsemanship techniques

Mission

To help people better care for, understand, and ride their horse through proper education of horse behavior and equitation. We believe that rider/handler error is the cause of many horse behavior problems, and thus seek to fix the issue at the source the rider/handler.
