Check out the Equine Services I offer.
Care Acres Services
Dressage, Working Equitation, Ground Work
50 minutes of private instruction
- Private instruction in Dressage, WE obstacle work, basic ground work and manners, and liberty fundamentals. Focus is on obtaining a horse that is light and in self carriage while maintaining activity and impulsion from behind. Whether you’re planning on just riding the trails or entering the show ring, learn how to get your horse supple and responsive to your aids and working in balance so he is suitable for many types of disciplines. The types of gymnastic exercises and riding I teach will make your horse strong and able to use his body correctly which leads to a long and healthy life.
- If you don’t have your own arena I have a couple of haul in options at arenas in Brush Prairie and Ridgefield, WA. Haul-in fees are $10-15.
- Individual lessons done at barns outside the Brush Prairie, Battle Ground, Ridgefield area will require a minimum of 2 lessons or 2 hours and a travel fee. Contact me for more details.
