In Harmony With Horses

Instruction, Clinics & Other Services

"The way that you put together Centered Riding and Natural Horsemanship is great. The awareness that you get of how sensitive the horse is to body movement and position I found very valuable. I felt so energized after participating in the clinic. It gave more value and understanding for the passion I have always had for horses. It was exactly what I needed - Thanks" --Melinda, CR clinic participant

"I wanted to write about how great an impact you had on my riding. You gave me some invaluable tools that I use 4-5 times a week with my horse. Thanks to the position and relaxation I learned from you, I never ride that I don't feel your input into what I am doing. So, I wanted to thank you and tell you that you had a lasting contribution to my horse endeavors. I also enjoyed you so much as a human being-your family and critters are
lucky to have you in their lives." - Gretchen, , CR clinic participant

"Thank you so much for all the wonderful training you've given
my horses. I am so happy and grateful for their progress and
your gentle patience!" - Joanne,
CR clinic participant

Instruction
Heidi offers riding instruction to equestrians of all levels, beginners through seasoned riders. Students of Western, English, Dressage, Jumping, Trail or recreational riding are always welcome. She has also developed a program for those that are interested in gaining or regaining confidence.

The benefits of training in the Martial Arts and Centered Riding are evident in all of Heidi's horsemanship and riding programs. They lay the foundation for learning mindfulness, improving communication, trust and achieving harmony with the horse. As a CHA Master Level Instructor, safety and comfort of horse and rider, is a priority in every equine interaction.
