We first want to do a verbal evaluation of our students goals and then will try and place them in the appropriate program for their level. When accepting new horses in training, we also do a thorough interview process with the owner of the horse to determine, exactly where the horse is at in the training, whether there are any issues that need addressing and most importantly what the horse will be used/trained for and what the owner's goals are for their horse.

Extremely knowledgeable, patient works at the clients level
Ruth is knowledgeable and professional in supporting both horses and riders; she offers solid training methods from a lifetime of working with horses with a genuine desire to help her clients reach their riding goals. Ruth teaches both in the arena and out on the trail; horses in training and riders get the kind of back country miles opportunities that few trainers offer, anywhere. She maintains a quality string of riding horses for lessons and trail rides for every age of rider. Great program!
Ruth is an awesome trainer and can take you and your horse in the direction you want I’ve worked with her when I can on and off for 12 years she really pays attention to you and your horse and instills confidence in you both can’t say enough good things highly recommended !!!
