Learn to ride right, from the start
Welcome to Emily's website! Emily's program is located at Mint Springs Stables on Chamberlain Lane in Prospect, KY.
Emily's goal is to teach children and adults the ups and downs of horses. Whether working on dressage or galloping across a wide open field, horses can give us ultimate joy! They also require a lot of attention. Since they can't snuggle up in bed with you (eventhough some would like to) the relationship that we create with horses has to be one of mutual admiration and understanding. Caring for these creatures allows you to have a bond with an animal that is unlike anything you have ever experience.
Lessons in basic riding, dressage, show jumping and cross-country.
Instruction is in various formats; individual, semi private, and groups.
We will help you achieve your goals.
Training Horses
Emily is available for training your horse as well. Emily trained many of her Event horses from OTTB's though the Preliminary level before selling them to riders that were ready to gain experience at the lower levels.
Emily's training techniques stem from the theory that the horse must freely move forward in harmony with the rider. A happy horse that understands their job will trust its rider instinctively, which allows the partnership to go beyond their wildest dreams!
Cross-country riding is Emily's love. Having competed in Eventing since 1977 and at the Upper Levels for 12 years has given Emily an appreciation and knowledge for what it takes to be successful in this endeavor. Cross-country schools can be arranged at any local course.
