Introduction: My students from beginners to very advanced riders excell in their riding skills.They show their dedication to having happy, healthy horses and that they really enjoy working with horses. Observers can tell my students from others on how they treat their horses and fellow riders and how well they do in the show ring. Seeing the very beginner who is scared and unsure of themselves develope into capable riders and knowledgable horse people. Seeing the smiles that come after they have accomplished something they never dreamed of doing. Helping the advanced rider become more of a partner with her horse and teaching them that there will always be something to learn from their horse.

Joyce is very knowledgeable and patient. She has helped me and my mare in ways other trainers were not able. She makes it easy to understand. She understands the bond between human and equine. She does not discourage the rider or the horse. We both leave with more knowledge and skill than when we came. Thanks Joyce.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I subscribe to many horse magazines and belong to the United States Dressage Assoc, and the Hunter/Jumper Association, also Michigan Horse Council. I attend and ride in clinics to keep myself up on all the newer techniques of teaching. I coach our local High School Equestrian team and am very active in our local 4-H club.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always been around horses all my life, from riding on my dad's work horses at the age of 8 months old. I love taking care of horses and studying their habits. I took formal lessons for 15 years starting at the age of 29, but always had a horse to be around when I was growing up, they are in my blood and until I can no longer ride or teach I will always have horses around.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Feel free to come and watch me teach a lesson at anytime. My time is your time. You can come for a trial lesson at any time and determine if you would like to work with me or not. I'm not offended if someone does not want to come to me as a student. That is your decision to make.
