- I have been riding for nearly 20 years. In high school I worked with many OTTBS, training them for new careers as H/J's. I have been a professional riding instructor for several years. My goal as an instructor is to provide students with a solid foundation that will allow them to pursue the riding discipline of their choice. My teaching philosophy is safety first, followed by good overall horsemanship and love for riding. I am a strong believer in Centered Riding practices and have been studying Sally Swifts riding techniques for many years. I am currently training under an international level Eventing rider/coach.

It was shocking to me that I WAS that 17 year old girl galloping bareback out back jumping things and loving every minute of it! Hahah, I scared myself even THINKING about...

I really like the advice that has already been given, but if you are looking for another approach, here's something to try.
