Meet our Instructors

---

 Hi, my name is Alex, and I am a trainer/instructor who focuses on confidence building, relationship building, effective equitation, and correct, effective training for both horse and human.
I swung my leg over a horse for the first time at 6 years old; since then, it has been a passion of mine to learn about this animal, discover how to continue to make them a valuable part of our world and an important link to our faith.
I have 10 years of experience developing both horse and rider.
I enjoy training those who are serious about their horsemanship journey, from brand new to the horse world all the way to multi-horse owners who are looking to expand their knowledge base.
Clients of mine both current and past have gone on to be better, more effective communicators to their equine partners, recovered their confidence after it has been lost, and have purchased their very first horse.
My goal for my clients both horse and human is to ensure that they have the best, safest experience all while having fun and learning.
So, whether you are just embarking on your horsemanship journey, seeking more knowledge, or are stuck in lack of progress with your current horse(s) I am an instructor who can help you to reach new heights! 

 I'm Mila, a horse instructor with a lifelong passion for riding that began when I was just a little girl. For over six years, I've been sharing my love for horses with eager students, pouring my heart and energy into each lesson.

 There's nothing I enjoy more than seeing the smiles on young kids' faces as they learn to ride. Teaching young children brings me immense joy. Guiding them through the basics of riding with patience and encouragement is incredibly rewarding.

 I believe in instilling confidence and respect in my students, helping them forge a deep connection with the horses.

In every lesson, I give my all, knowing that each rider's progress is a reflection of my dedication. My aim extends beyond imparting riding skills; it's about fostering a deep connection between the rider and horse. 

  I am committed to creating a supportive and nurturing environment where everyone is welcomed and encouraged to thrive. Whether you are a timid novice or an experienced rider, I will support you at every stage, cheering for you and celebrating your achievements.

My goal is to create not only skilled equestrians through my teaching but also compassionate individuals who extend the values learned here to every aspect of their lives.

Hey there, I'm Mackie, and I'm excited to share my lifelong love of horses with you! Riding has been a part of my world since I was a little girl, and now I'm living my dream as an instructor, specializing in western riding.

Though I may be newer to teaching, I'm passionate about training and guiding riders of all ages and levels. Whether you're taking your first steps in the saddle or improving your skills, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Horses have always held a special place in my heart, and I pour that love into each lesson. 

My approach is all about creating a fun and supportive environment where you can learn and grow at your own pace. Whether it's mastering the basics or perfecting your technique, I'll be right there beside you, cheering you on.

 Building confidence is key to becoming a successful rider, and I believe that with patience and perseverance, anyone can overcome their fears and achieve their goals. I've worked with many nervous riders, and I've seen firsthand the transformation that occurs when they start to believe in themselves. From gentle encouragement to gentle nudges out of their comfort zones, I'm dedicated to helping you unlock your full potential and become the confident rider you were meant to be! 

I started riding horses at age 9. I quickly fell in love with their gentle demeanor and ability to ease all of life’s worries. I realized early on that when riding horses, my anxieties went away, and I could truly be in the present moment.

Throughout the years, I have utilized my love for horses to learn more about them and natural horsemanship. I have been on numerous trail rides (my main passion) and have helped others to overcome any fears they may have and establish a solid relationship and bond with their horse.

  Riding isn't just about mastering the technical skills; it's about fostering trust and understanding between rider and horse. I believe in creating a supportive environment where students can challenge themselves and conquer their fears. I am committed to nurturing confidence every step of the way. 

 The bond between humans and horses offers a unique therapeutic connection, and I'm driven to explore and harness this transformative potential. My next goal is to become certified in equine-assisted therapy. Please feel free to reach out and learn more about me.
