       Lesson Focus and Potential Results

Brad has the unique ability to relate to his students and understand their strengths, weaknesses, and training needs, allowing him to tailor each lesson to the training needs of the individual. He also has a "sixth sense" in evaluating the capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses of horses. With this ability, he has assembled one of the best collection of school horses in the area. They are safe to ride, and  have the style and talent that  judges are looking for in picking class winners.

Brad's training skills have produced a large number of winners, in the show ring, which is the ultimate measure of a trainer's teaching skills and a students riding talent.


A Unique Training Experience...


ponies forsale or lease Winning show ring Hunter/Jumper performance is a combination of a well-prepared rider and horse -- each with a confident, winning attitude. Every individual and horse are unique, and their characteristics and attitudes change daily. Individual riders and horses need specialized instruction to achieve their full potential. Brad understands this and has the unique ability to tailor his training to the needs of the students and horses. We also keep our class size small (no more than 4 students) to ensure the lesson instructions can be tailor to the individuals and their horses.
