I teach ranch horse skills so you can understand why the exercise matters, feel when it is correct, and use it outside a lesson.
Better the best that we have.
A good ride is not a horse going through a memorized set of movements. It is a horse and rider communicating clearly, moving with purpose, and able to come back to the basics when the work gets harder.
At Stache Ranch, I teach riders from their actual starting point. We work through balance, timing, the feet, softness, and transitions, then apply those skills to a gate, a trail, cattle preparation, ranch tasks, or the show pen. I want you to know what you are asking for and why your horse gives the answer it does.
I am a ranch horse competitor and owner of Stache Ranch in Greenacres, Washington. My continuing education includes Training Quality Assurance work through Treasure Valley Community College. That learning informs how I prepare riders and horses for practical jobs.

Our outdoor arena and ranch setting provide room to build the basics and apply them. Riders come to Greenacres for regular sessions; clinics take this approach to other locations across the Inland Northwest. Visits are by appointment.
