This ensures your investment continues to support progress — even when riding isn’t the right choice that day.
- A professional training session with your horse
- A lesson at Blitzen Estate on a school horse
- A haul-in lesson
- A private virtual session (theory, strategy, or rider development)
- A groundwork or in-barn educational session
This ensures your investment continues to support progress — even when riding isn’t the right choice that day.
Payment Policy
Monthly and Seasonal packages must be paid in full by the end of the first week of the month or season to secure scheduling.
I’m looking forward to this next step. Structured consistency is one of the most important elements in rider development, and this model allows me to serve each of you with greater clarity, intention, and focus.
