It's about developing a partnership with a horse, regardless if the horse is with you for a short while or long term. Hello. I'm Carlena. I hope to make every horse & rider better than the day before. This page was inspired by my experiences working with horses, along with training & competing on my own. It is a place to share horse training ideas, experiences, inspirations, support, and problems.
Having a deep passion for quality horsemanship, I have won numerous Championships & awards in obstacle based events the past 6 years. The fundamentals I teach are what I used in taking Merlin from a green horse to a Champion award-winning veteran. Currently in training for obstacle competitions & pleasure classes is my OTTB mare, Bacardi. I teach riders these same techniques, offering a solid foundation for competitions & a solid working horse. I grew up riding. My experiences are many ... team roping, barrel racing, goat tying, ranch sorting, Trail Trials, obstacle challenges, Cowboy Mounted Shooting, western horse shows, working ranch & brandings, wilderness packing, horse camping, dude ranch wrangler, plus dabbling with Cowboy Dressage. As a professional science teacher, I carry that enthusiasm & training out to the arena & trails. I put on Journey into Trail Trials clinics and Journey into Horsemanship weekly riding lessons. In addition to helping riders learn & progress, I work with client horses. I offer affordable private & group lessons, with patience & knowledge sprinkled through out.
