Equestrian Philosophy
Follow Classical Equestrian Principles but with a totally open mind to new ideas!
You should look forward to riding (and lessons) not be relieved you have survived!
Our horse is first & foremost our friend but never our boss
The better we ride the less we physically & mentally damage our horses
Having horses in your life is good for your soul, your mind & your body
