As the head instructor and trainer at Castle Farm, I have been working with horses, in various capacities for over 30 years. I have been teaching and training for over 25 years, and I have experience in many disciplines, and with many breeds! Myself and my staff are happy to help introduce you to horses if you've never ridden before, or take you to shows if you have been riding a while and are rea
dy to compete! You do not have to own your own horse, since we have a lovely selection of lesson horses residing at my farm just outside Raleigh, NC. If you do own your own horse, I am happy to work with you and your beloved equine toward your personal or competitive goals. We travel to several local venues about twice a month to compete, and we also head out to local parks for occasional trail rides throughout the year. I prefer a systematic, dressage based, approach to my training and teaching, as well as a variety of positive reinforcement training techniques. At Castle Farm, our objectives always keep in mind safety for horse and rider, and having fun!
