Welcome to ABOUT BASICS

Riding and handling horses is a skill and ability that you never stop learning and exploring - not if you want to do it well and safely.

I am an experienced, insured and certified English and Western horseback riding instructor and trainer based out of San Jose and travel all over the Bay Area to provide riding lessons and training for you and your horse.

Here you will learn about my lifelong experience with horses as well as my philosophy on riding, training and instruction. I have alot to offer you and your horse and since I tailor my methods and sessions specifically to your riding and your horse's needs, our time spent together will be extremely effective.

I am currently working with clients all over the Bay Area - from Milpitas to La Honda, Palo Alto and Woodside to Gilroy! Each week I divide my time between Portola Pastures, Webb Ranch, Pagemill Pastures, Clermont Stables and Indian Hills Ranch along with several private facilities.

I'm happy to come to your home or boarding facility to work with you and your horse - So don't let where you live or board in the Bay Area stop you from contacting me about riding lessons and training!
