...What do you, as a rider, need to bring to the table?  A willingness  to have the horse's best interest in mind, an open-mindedness to learn along with your horse and a commitment to do things that are not always easy.   L. Hoover

Philosophy

Who doesn’t love to handle and ride a horse that is relaxed, responsive and confident?

Whether you ride dressage, over fences or simply desire to ride effectively, we all recognize that these elements are important for the horse’s success in life and the attainment of our goals.  At Cornerstones, we address your needs as well as those of your horse through our teaching and training programs.  While subscribing to classical ideals, a custom program is created, for you, based on real needs.  Your program is based on proven learning techniques and seeks tangible objectives.  

The creation of a strong partnership between you and your horse is paramount to success.  The strength of the partnership is determined by how well each understands the role they are to play.  For you, it is to be a clear, empathetic leader.  For your horse, it is to be receptive and prepared to meet your requests.  Allow us to bring your partnership to this place.
