Traveling to your place OR visit us here in Pall Mall, TN

Since 1994 we have been offering training, lessons, and clinics. Our passion has always been quality horsemanship no matter what discipline, this has led to many travels around the country teaching horsemanship clinics and presenting at horse expos and fairs.

The importance of getting out on the trails to improve your horse's mental attitude and your riding skills has always been a focus of ours. With horsemanship as the cornerstone, our skillset is quite varied.

We worked on a cattle ranch, had a colt starting company in AZ, a learning center in WI, did NBHA world championship barrel racing, trained gaited horses, mules and donkeys, competed in hunter/jumpers, 3-day eventing, and through Prix St. George in dressage.

We believe learning should be fun!

Pole work: Both you and your horse will come away from this feeling accomplished!  The balance, timing and feel that can come from focused pole work is astonishing, and best of all is how enjoyable it is to do it!

Dressage Done Naturally: True collection and engagement does NOT come from endless circles. Learn new and creative ways to get your horse to willingly offer the beautiful movement you know is inside of him. Creating a willing, playful, balanced partner, no matter the type of saddle you ride in.
