Training and Riding with Positive Reinforcement

In Person Lessons in Bucks County, PA

  • "Working with Ashley is what took my training to the next level. I had already completed an excellent virtual course, but couldn't quite figure some things out. Working with Ashley and her horses allowed me to fine-tune things based on an educated eye-exactly like riding lesson with a quality instructor.

    Noelle T.

  • “I can’t say enough good things about Ashley. She’s a kind, considerate, thoughtful person who really cares about people and horses. Her coaching is encouraging, clear, and supportive. Her training is effective, consistent, patient, and compassionate. I also deeply appreciate Ashley’s ability to adapt to meet the needs of her clients, be attentive to small details, and her dedication to always seeking to learn and improve. My horses and I all love Ashley."

  • “Ashley's training is always executed well and it flows naturally right into how she coaches: consistent, clear, and successful. I could tell right away from how she worked with my own horses that she was dedicated and skilled in her craft of understanding horses on a deeper level. This is directly reflected in how she cares for and coaches her clients!"

We may choose food as a reinforcer, but that’s not the only way we teach our horses. The food is also not the only positive thing about our training sessions. We strive for positive outcomes for our horses in a big picture way. This means:
My other job is as a graphic designer for an equestrian focused marketing team. We know all about labels and words used to paint things a certain way. You should be aware of how certain words can make you feel. Especially the good sounding ones! C
