Lessons on Your Horse
Holly Chester and Kevn Bruce offer lessons to child and adult boarders of all experience levels. The farm's two extremely experienced trainers teach boarders with a focus on safety, effectiveness, and style, creating strong and capable riders that are competitive in the hunter, jumper and equitation rings. All beginning riders are taught proper horse care and horsemanship. After consulting with Holly and Kevin, boarders can choose from private, semi-private and group lessons.
Training
Holly, and Kevin's collective years of experience and expertise provide a very special opportunity for training horses and ponies. Each animal is observed and evaluated, taking into account the horse's individual personality, style, and athleticism. Goals and objectives are explored with the owner and/or rider and a customized program is put into place to develop the horse through basic understanding of aids classically used for flatwork and jumping. Those aids are refined to suit the style of the owner/rider. The result of conditioning, positive reinforcement, classic education and a horseman's understanding of the animal's personality is an improved horse that is enjoyable to ride. We specialize in bringing out a horse's best jumping style and overall rideability.
