Students of all ages and ability ranges are welcome.  From the occasional pleasure rider to the serious competitor, Charlene can help you meet your goals.  Excellent support between lessons via email Q&A is welcomed always.  Your student experience will be specifically tailored to the needs of you and your horse.  Things like past injuries, experiences and conformation of both horse and rider are considered.  Problem solving and goal setting is key!

​

Students are encouraged to journal about their lessons.  Keeping a written diary of your experiences gives you the ability to refer back to them at any time thus enhancing your learning experience.  Charlene often uses photo and video review in her lessons.  For the serious learner, she can also assign "homework" in the form of books, videos or suggest clinics that she feels will be of help to the student.  Students are encouraged to become thinking riders.  She believes in giving them the tools to self evaluate and self correct when practicing on their own.  Riders who truly understand the benefits of referring back to basics are succesful riders!
