Training Services

Alison is a life-long horsewoman with experience in a multitude of disciplines and is not breed specific. The horsemanship she exhibits is based on respect, feel, patience, and helping the horse function in sound form, both body and mind. She will forever be a student of the horse and believes they are the greatest teachers. With the horses leading the way for inspiration, she  has chosen mentors with similar philosophies, all having one thing in common: the desire to do right by the horse. Things that are not part of Alison's repertoire include; getting a horse to a pre-determined training "level" by a pre-determined time, use of gimmicks (martingales, tie downs, draw reins, bigger bits), working with horses in a way that causes them to travel biomechanically incorrect (forcing an un-natural frame), and training horses to travel in untrue gaits. The goal is to provide confidence through sound horsemanship, for the human and the horse. Training openings are on a limited basis.

Alison is an official Recommended Clinician Level 2 for the Cowboy Dressage Professionals Association.
