Horseback riding goals
Riding style
Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I put special attention into the progression of horse and rider. I want to see improvement after each lesson. My goal is to create a pleasant, relaxed picture with a correct rider. Dressage is a hard sport and takes years of practice and dedication and I think it is essential as a trainer to have an end goal and never stop striving for it for all of my students and clients. I love the horses. Many clients hire me to ride their horses on a daily and weekly basis. The horses never stop giving me something to work on, and they always teach me new things every day. It is humbling to ride a new horse that has a particular problem that is exclusive to that horse. I love teaching my students. They bring something new to the table with each lesson and excite me when I see progress being made and improvements. I Love my students and their wonderful desire for learning. They put so much heart into this sport and make the challenge well worth it.

Chantal is a talented dressage equestrienne with an innate rapport with horses. She has infinitismal patience with both animals and people, and she is an excellent trainer and teacher. She has trained and worked with many green horses and taken them from skittish and jerky to the top-of-the-class. She has ridden at Del Mar Stables and trained horses at Silver Bay Farms, and received many ribbons in shows all over California. She is reliable and personable...a truly gifted rider who can help both horse and rider develop to their full potential.

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I recently left my job in San Diego where I rode several horses a day for a trainer. One of them was a bucker (it was like a rodeo in the dressage ring!), one of them was a Intermediare I mare, one of them was a tense and anxious 2nd-3rd level seal bay gelding, and one of them was a thoroughbred off the track. I get a wide variety of horses to ride, but since moving to Santa Cruz I have gotten a lot of calls for riding lessons for beginners and I currently reside at Silver Bay Farms in Felton.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    Dressage is a precise, subtle, brilliant, and explosive sport all at once. The ability for a horse to burst forward in extended trot and collect right back into a passage means they have to have a certain amount of boldness, athleticism, intelligence, and suppleness. It takes a long time to train a horse from a youngster to a schoolmaster. The one thing to know about this profession is to be patient and aware that this is a sport that never stops teaching and the rider and horse never stop growing. In this sense, it can be very rewarding but very frustrating. However, patience is a virtue, after all!
