The following on site training is offered through Jessica Odom.
Western Riding Lessons. Western Riding developed according to the needs of "cowboys." The Western Saddle is made to distribute weight more evenly over the horses back so horse and rider can counterbalance the weight of a roped cow. The seat is comfortable for long hours over rough terrain. The horn anchors a lariat when roping cattle.
English Riding lessons. English riding is a term used in the United States to describe a form of horseback riding that is seen throughout the world. There are many variations in English riding, but all feature a flat English saddle without the deep seat, high cantle or saddle horn seen on a Western saddle nor the "poleys" seen on an Australian Stock Saddle. Saddles within the various English disciplines are all designed to allow the horse the freedom to move in the most optimal manner for a given task, ranging from Classical dressage to horse racing.
Show Jumping Lessons. Competition over fences where scoring is entirely objective, based on time and on the number of obstacles cleared without knockdowns. This is a recognized Olympic competition.
Horse Training. This refers to a wide variety of practices that teach horses to perform certain behaviors when asked to do so by humans. We train horses to be manageable by humans for everyday care as well as for equestrian activities from pleasure horses to competition horses. Babies are welcome as well to be broken.
