RIDING LESSONS

Tina has been a 4H Leader Volunteer for over five years in Marshall County, IN.  She has been giving riding lessons for over 8 years and her students have not only improved their riding skills, but they have also seen their share of success in the show pen.  We cover everything from basic handling, grooming and saddling skills to confident horsemanship and riding practices that can be applied on the trail or in the show pen.  We focus on developing confidence, proper seat and balance combined with the effective use of quiet hands and legs.  We strive to develop well balanced confident riders who have the skills to effectively communicate with their horse in any discipline or event.
With over 20 years of practical horse experience, we are proud to offer a variety of services to our clients.  We offer on-site horse sitting and daily chores and horseback riding lessons for the beginner to intermediate rider.  In the future we also plan to offer long and short term horse boarding as well as basic riding and training.
Rooster Ridge specializes in youth and 4H riders, Tina has a fun approach to teaching that kids and adults both enjoy and appreciate. If you're looking for a fun, relaxed atmosphere to learn about horses from the ground up, then this is the place for you.  We offer lessons on our quality horses, or yours.
