This is Linda and her horse Echo. A few months ago she was scared to ride him. She bought him the year before and had some good rides but lost her confidence due to some unplanned dismounts. Like many riders, this created a situation where both she and her horse experienced a lot of uncertainty and anxiety while riding. So she reached out for help.

First, I worked with Echo, to see if he had any behavioral issues that needed addressing. Other than not being used a lot in the past year, he was actually pretty solid. So then it was just a matter of getting Linda's confidence back through progressive riding goals. Not only did Linda do great in our sessions, but she built on it every day in between sessions and by the time the last few sessions rolled around I hardly recognized her. Her goal when we first started was to be able to ride her horse at a walk through the woods alone. Now she's walking, gaiting and cantering solo on trail with ease! I'm so excited for her!

Congrats Linda, all your hard work and dedication has paid off 🦋🦋

Welcome

CK Horse Training and Consulting is just the formal designation for my passion: helping people experience the world from the back of a horse.

While there are many equine disciplines, my interest and experience is trail riding and camping. There is nothing that enriches my soul more than being in nature with my horse. Whether we’re exploring new trails, experiencing breath-taking views, or tackling difficult terrain, there is always a sense of awe and accomplishment. Being an independent horseman or woman is empowering, and I want others to tap into this feeling!
