Lessons

Repairing the communication gaps between horses and humans.

Andrea provides training for both horses and owners, and loves to find those communication gaps that are preventing success. She specializes in groundwork, safety around horses, desensitization, obstacle work, and basic riding skills. She is focused on biomechanics and setting up the horse and owner to become a more cohesive team.
Andrea offers individual and group lessons, as well as clinics, allowing students to choose the type of instruction they prefer. Students can expect Andrea to be honest and clear about needed changes, as well as answering questions in a highly detailed manner.


She is well aware that horsemanship is a journey, and is committed to trying to meet you wherever you are at on that road. She strongly encourages learning from multiple sources, including online and video instructors, because she understands that sometimes you need to hear a different way of explaining things to truly grasp the concept. She welcomes questions, and truly loves working with curious and committed students!


Andrea tends to give fewer lessons per rider, but provides “homework”, allowing riders to progress at their own pace and space lessons out further for economical learning.
She is also happy to work with individuals that are stuck in the process of attempting to train their own horse, and need assistance to get to the next step!

I’ve trained with Andrea in multiple disciplines as well as levels, and she has a great talent of not leaving anything out when explaining things regardless of what you are learning or struggling with. She has helped immensely when it comes to communication with my own horse in saddle as well as on the ground. I am not having any of the problems of my horse ignoring me that I used to! It is definitely worth the money and time in my opinion!
