When considering sending your horse to Jodi for training, you should ask
yourself about your goals and determine what your needs are. Do you have
a show horse who needs a tune up? Do you have a young prospect who needs
some new buttons put on to get to the show ring? Do you have a pleasure
horse who you just want to be more broke for your lessons? Do you have a
difficult horse who needs a new education? Be honest about your current
situation and also about what your goals are. Then talk to Jodi to see
if your horse is a good “fit” for her program.
Jodi’s program and
successes in the show ring are geared towards making your young or
seasoned all around horse excel in a variety of pattern and rail events.
The horses all learn to be mannered, focused and respectful. They have a
good solid foundation which will allow them to move on to any discipline
in the future – whether your goal is to have a show horse or a
responsive, broke pleasure mount.
Training sessions are
individualized to the horse and designed to fit each horse’s specific
needs. A training session may consist of ground work, longeing, ponying,
showmanship and/or riding. Services may be provided by Jodi or one of
her assistants under her guidance. Horses will be very lightly groomed
and feet picked prior to riding. Part of the training process typically
includes periods of learning patience, so tying is often a daily
occurrence.
Available Options:
Please note - board is paid
separately to Reid Farm & Equestrian Centre.
Full
Training - 4-5 training sessions per week designed to add finish
to your green horse, or new events to your broke or seasoned horse, or
to keep him in peak performance mode during show season.
Maintenance Training – 2 to 3 sessions per week. Sessions are
geared towards maintaining a broke or seasoned show horse. This service
is only available to customers who commit to long term training.
What to bring - Please bring a few grooming supplies
(hoof pick, brush, curry) and a Navajo type saddle blanket as well as
any boots or specific items you wish your horse to wear while in
training. |

The goal of our lesson program is to create safe, effective,
knowledgeable horse people. From recreational riders to show ring
competitors, young and young at heart - all students share a passion for
horses!
We offer English and Western riding lessons with an emphasis on
quality horsemanship and a focus on learning fine control skills. Many
riders comment that we are unique in the industry because of the
attention to detail that we offer.
Currently lessons are
available to horse owners only - either boarded in the barn or trailered
in (an arena fee will apply for outside horses).
We
encourage everyone to learn all the 'nitty gritty' stuff about horses as
well - proper bandaging, braiding, pulling a mane, first aid - you name
it, we are here to help you learn more! Lessons are diverse and not all
time is spent in the saddle - quality instruction on the ground and
stable management play an important role in creating good horsemen.
A main focus of lessons is also on Showmanship (a competitive class
where exhibitors show their horse in hand through a series of
maneuvers). When students master this class it's almost like they
are dancing with their horses - movements are fluid and communication
between horse and handler is very subtle.
Half hour private
lessons are recommended as this allows the instructor to dedicate their
entire focus on your skill development. Small group lessons are
sometimes available as well. |
