Carrie’s instruction and training methods emphasize a very quiet, clear, classical approach with focus on the rider’s position and how it influences the horse, yet still having a good time, enjoying each lesson.  Lessons involve teaching correct basics in rider position and a clear understanding of rider aids to the horse, working on and off the lung line with many exercises to improve balance, feel and strength.

Carrie’s approach to training the horse is always a quiet, gentle, classical approach with quick, consistent corrections, but never overly forceful, treating each horse as an individual.  All horses are given solid basics, from teaching good ground manners, to correct lunging, to riding and developing strength & fitness, with emphasis on a pleasant, willing attitude with forward, free flowing gaits in to a soft, forward feel bringing the most natural brilliance and movement each horse is capable of so they enjoy their work.  Horses are never overly worked, allowing for days to relax in their pasture and just be a horse!
