Training Q & A


Ann's Philosophy


If horse training were like a home, then "the basics are the structure and architecture and everything else is interior design." In her dressage lessons, Ann strives "to systematically gymnasticize and sensitize your horse to your every movement." She says, "Should you opt to re-learn or learn to ride, I will teach you how to 'feel' what the horse is doing and saying to you through its own body language communication. I will explain and demystify the basics of dressage to help you understand how 'IT' all works." If you would like to learn more about Ann's approach, click here to send her an email message.
