Welcome to Thistle Ridge Stables
I talk to horse owners every single week who come to me with one question:
How can improve my horse and win more ribbons at horse shows?
Can you relate to any of these?
- “What IS the judge looking for?”
- “How do I get my horse to listen to me?”
- “I’m not a good enough rider to get my horse to do that.”
The bottom line is – I train horse owners how to train their horses. It is not just a matter of “sit up and heels down” – There is so much to teach horse owners about having simple training techniques. Sometimes I review the same points, multiple times a week, with each client I am working with.
That is why I started the Thistle Ridge Skill Builers series. To help riders, coaches and trainers develop their horse showing skill before heading out to a recognized show. Come see for yourself how you can know what the judge is lookin for and get the secret for having a good show.
As an experienced riding instructor and coach Laura can help you communicate with your horse to develop it through systematic training techniques.
