Pathways to Improvement

Person filming a horse and rider for video assessment

Video Assessment

Send me a short video clip — 5 minutes is fine, 10 minutes max. It can be edited and spliced, but beware of only sending the "good stuff." Be real.

  • Show a variety of work in both directions
  • Best if you and horse are warmed up before filming
  • Highlight specific movements you want feedback on (leg yield, transitions, jumps, etc.)
  • I'll do a play-by-play voice-over on the video and send it back to you
  • A few circles each direction, a few transitions — use your time wisely

Livestream Lesson

A real-time riding lesson over the internet. You can ride with me and not even leave the farm!

  • Requires very good cell service or WiFi (WiFi is best)
  • You will need a Pivo and cell phone with wireless earbuds
  • Pixio/Pixem is another option — more expensive but works better with multiple horses in the arena
  • Instruction is live, interactive, and specific to you and your horse
