Spring is here, so let’s start chasing those goals 🌻

Once again I’ll be making my way around the perimeter of Winnipeg to see my lovely mobile clients and their beautiful horses! Whether you are at a facility that allows outside professionals or your horse is in your back yard I’d love to help you and your horse out.

From working out some kinks, behavioural issues or anxiety with horses (maybe even the riders too 😋) of all ages, improving your own riding with a focus on functional biomechanics and helping you reach your riding goals, I would be happy to chat with you!

You can DM the page or text/call 204-999-7437

This is a great class for those who have young horses that aren’t quite ready or developed enough to get going under saddle. Starting to do some ground training, bridle work/in hand as well as conditioning at a slow pace is a great way to get your young horse to become familiar with working, gives them an easy job and allows you to bond with them.

I have seen a big difference in how horses start to develop under saddle by the work I do with them as 2 and 3 year olds. It has allowed me to build a bond as well as recognize early on and start correcting movement patterns that may not be functional long term. Earlier ground training also helps set your horse up to become more balanced, confident and willing to start their full time work when they are ready to do so.

As a professional who has been starting horses under saddle for over 10 years I have seen the difference earlier ground training can make for your horse both mentally and physically.

If you have a young horse and are eager to start working with them or a trainer looking to offer some additional services and maybe gain some new insight or another perspective this class will greatly beneficial in regards to working with a horse at this age both mentally and physically!

Participants will work HANDS ON and learn:
🧠 perspective on working with the emotions and thought processes of young horses
🐎 how to introduce lunging and the stages of progression
🐴 how to introduce the bit and bridle
🐎 saddling for the first time
🐎 appropriate ground work
🎩 implementing and teaching good manners that will carry on through life
◼️ teaching your horse to “set up” and stand at the mounting block willingly
🤠 exercises to prepare them for the first mounting and leg over
⚖️ exercises to help build balance
💃 handler body language and cue for optimum communication to your horse
🌱 nutrition and health management

These are small group classes with multiple horses to work with and watch, which means lots to learn!

Classes are on Saturdays 1:30-3:30 for 6 weeks starting April 5th with the last class on May 10th

Investment is $270+gst

Creekside Equestrian has Spring lesson availability! Located just a short 5 minute drive from the West perimeter of Winnipeg our facility has reliable horses with solid training, quality horse tack that fits the horses properly, an indoor arena as well as a viewing lounge.

My name is Alyssa and I have openings to welcome new students into my riding program! I am a certified and insured riding instructor with over 20 years experience riding and nearly 10 years of coaching. As much as I know it is important to learn and make progress, I understand that riding should be fun too. Safety is always factored into lessons as well as appropriate horse and rider combinations.

Regardless of your age, level of riding or experience- Creekside Equestrian welcomes you!

As a rider who has success in the local competition ring as well as at a National and World Championship level, I would love to help others on their riding journey or get you started off.

Regardless if you would like to ride recreationally or competitively, I understand each rider needs to be coached and treated as an individual based on their physical strengths/weaknesses, personality type and confidence level.

There is always room for advancement through rider progression, extra classes, working student programs, leasing opportunities or horse ownership.

I have coached beginners, intermediate and advanced riders from children to adult ages and have coached others to National wins and placings - if you have a dream to ride or are looking for a new coach, let’s connect!

Success story!

This summer I’ve had the opportunity of working with this lovely Quarter Horse mare through my mobile client base. Last summer her owner incurred some injuries from an unplanned dismount which lead to anxiety in the saddle. Over the course of the summer I’ve been riding this mare really working towards to focus and relaxation in her mind and body (but isn’t that what we’re always striving for)…

This last ride was our best to date- an extremely windy day but we were so connected through the aids and she didn’t put a foot out of place. Her owner has even felt confident to get back on and ride her.

I look forward to continue working with them towards the goal of feeling more connected and working with anxiety as opposed to against it!

Happy weekend all, enjoy your horses ✌️

10 yo gelding available for partboard or half lease!

Charlie is a quiet and sensible horse but doesn’t take life too seriously. Hes got personality and a sense of humor.

He’s a straight forward ride, more whoa than go, basic lateral work and has been a great school horse. He has helped riders with anxiety and been a pleasant mount for beginners to advanced.

He doesn’t have patience for constant rein pulling but works great on a contact.

Charlie appreciates a rider that can keep a rhythm or is building awareness to, isn’t too heavy with aids but applies pressure as needed and where needed- he’s also great for teaching these things and is pretty forgiving!

If you’re looking to take some lessons with extra riding time on the side, reach out!
