Horse Riding Lessons

1
Students can take lessons 4 times a month, twice a month or once a month. We want to work around busy schedules and budgets. Lessons include learning how to groom and tack up a horse, safety when leading and working around our four legged friends and overall care. Our goal is to have fun learning about horses, emphasizing Self-Confidence and balance on well trained horses.

After spending the summer leading groups of riders on over-night back-packing trips to Crested Butte she fell in love with horses and continued working and training for the next 10 years.
She has trained with John Lyons and Clinton Anderson. Shelly teaches intermediate to advanced Western, Halter, Trail, Running events and Ranch Horse.
Trainer Kerry Davids is from the UK and has been riding since age 5. She volunteered at various barns in the UK helping care for the horses as well as assist with riding lessons and the RDA (Riding for the Disabled). Kerry moved to the USA in 1996 and resumed riding at a barn which used Sally Swifts centered riding techniques.
