Instruction
Riding lessons and training packages are available.  Trainer Patti Porter enjoys teaching the rider how to train her own horse, and even training sessions are done in such a way as to educate the rider.

Instruction and training is focused on:

~ Relaxation of the horse, relaxation with proper positive tension for the rider (core)

~ A clear explanation of the natural aids: hand, leg, and seat

~ A balanced seat for the rider, and balanced movement for the horse

~ Foundational building blocks on which to build higher education
