UNDERSTANING OUR PHILOSPHY
The minute a person comes in contact with a horse, they are teaching it something, good, bad, or otherwise…
Our goal is to develop a safe, conscientious rider who can effectively communicate with their horse. Kristin will help you develop an understanding of your horse in such a way that you become the confident leader your horse needs. Happily operating within Covered Bridge Equestrian Center.
By breaking down each goal to the fundamentals, you help the horse understand what it is being asked of him. We find where miscommunication is stemming from and build from there. The program focuses on how to support your horse by building a frame of mind where the horse is focused on you and on tasks you need to complete. I help you build a good relationship and work ethic with your horse. Through clear communication, your horse will find rest physically, mentally, and emotionally when with you; thereby creating a magical harmony between the two of you.
When you listen to your horse, your horse will listen to you.
I dedicate my life to helping people find joy with their horses. I want people to smile when they are around their horse, not feel stressed or depressed. I want to help them to understand that they can do right by their horse and show them how to accomplish the connection.
