Mission Statement
View Sarah Stanton's biography.
I personally find riding, teaching, and working with horses an
enjoyable, enriching, and rewarding experience. I believe in good
horsemanship. It is the foundation upon which all of my teaching is
based. A rider with a proper foundation will find lifelong
enjoyment with horses and horse activities. Good horsemanship encompasses an
understanding and proficiency in many different subjects relating
to horses including: health care, proper feeding and nutritional
management, good basic riding skills, equine anatomy, and the
development of an empathy and appreciation of the abilities and
limitations inherent in the equine species. A student of mine is a
student studying horsemanship -- not just "learning to ride". Whether
riding for the first time or a seasoned veteran of the saddle, young or
"mature" I enjoy the teaching process no matter where you are on your
journey learning more about your horse. It is my hope that my
experiences and teaching can help you become a better horseman or
horsewoman.

Curriculum
Curriculum is based on a student's particular needs and level of
experience. Students new to riding instruction will require more hands
on instruction and most often will need to have private lessons. Their
curriculum will include Stable Management and Equine Health easily
accommodated in the Spring and Fall months when the weather is less
conducive to riding outside. For the more experienced rider their
Stable Management skills and Horsemanship knowledge is usually well
established and most of their time will be spent riding and working on
equitation and training skills. Because of the higher level of riding
ability it is easier to place them in a class/semi-private riding lesson
environment.
