Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: We have therapeutic training which we apply to every riding lesson, thus improving the balance, connection and relationship of each rider to their horse. We treat each person with respect to their individual needs, no matter what that need is, from overcoming fear, to needing to have a "get up and go" experience. Every person, no matter the age, has a valid need to be recognized at the level they are at and treated accordingly, with respect. Everyone starts somewhere. We accept students of any age and tailor the lesson to their age.

I have rode and worked at Tina's for atleast 1-2 years, Tina gives me support that I can do things like canter bareback. Tina has incuraged me on how to sit right, saddle, and bridle the right way so that nether the horse or ourselfs will get hurt. Tina is also really gentle, she will instruct the rider how to do things and will help them if needed. Tina's and The Whole Horse Place is the best place to go to ride or have a birthday party.

My husband and I are the proud parents of 3 children ages 6-12. We have been going for two years. We love The Whole Horse Place! The children adore Mrs. Tina and all of the horses. Each of our children have learned everything they need to know, to care for horses by taking the year long course on Equine Science and Horsemanship. One of the coolest lessons included dissecting a real cows eye! My oldest son (12) had some difficulties relaxing; which is why we started taking him for lessons. After just a couple of lessons we noticed a huge difference in his disposition, and confidence! Our family highly recommends " The Whole Horse Place". Give Mrs. Tina and her horses a try, you'll be glad you did!

A fun, affordable, and safe place for your children to learn how to take care of and ride horses in a relaxed manner, progressing at their own rate. The highlight of their week! Highly recommend!!!

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    We teach horsemanship beginning at entering the stall to trail riding. Safety is first and foremost. Horse behavior, how a horse thinks, how we assume leadership of the horse, are all key factors in our teaching approach. This is foundational to all of our classes, whether it is a therapeutic ride, a science or history class, Girl Scout event, Boy Scout merit badge event, trail riding, summer camps, or birthday parties.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    If you're looking for a safe, fun, affordable, basic horse experience, you're looking in the right place. Don't come out with expectations of learning to ride "properly" because we don't do that here, but you will learn to stay on the horse, how to fall off if you need to, and how to control the horse. You'll learn the basics, with no pressure. If you want lessons, there are many awesome facilities out there who can teach you how to ride well. Call and ask me, I know quite a few wonderful instructors and this area abounds with very nice places to go and learn. There is something for everyone in this area, no matter your focus. If you like what you see, come on out and see if it's a good fit. We'll teach you what owning a horse is all about, keeping them in good health, and learning to be confident in all your horsemanship and horse keeping. Sometimes you don't even know what you are looking for, and don't know the exact direction that you want to go with horses. If all you know is that you like them, this is a great place to start. Horse activites are endless, and you can specialize once you know what you enjoy. So, expose yourself!
