Dark Horse Riding Club
Philosophy: We are all trainers every time we ride we are training our horse, good or bad., ask your horse incorrectly, he will respond accordingly and learn incorrect behavior. Riding lessons are an important way to understand how to talk to your horse through your seat, legs and hands. Because horses do not communicate the way people do, people need training to understand their behavior. I have learned from experience that it is very important for you (The horse's trainer) to take an active roll in the training process to prevent a learning gap between you and your horse. No matter what your riding discipline, I will teach you (the rider) how to correctly school/train your horse and understand what you are asking of him and why.
"The basic techniques, or what they call basics, are more difficult than what comes later, this is the Trap of Dressage. Correct basics are more difficult than the piaffe and passage."
