Loretta's students benefit from one on one teaching in a no pressure environment. They learn the skills and knowledge necessary to become an accomplished horseman (or woman).
Riding is just a small part of the teaching in her program.
The student will typically spend 20-30 minutes learning about leadership, respect and communication. This includes demonstrations and hands on experience for the student.
After grooming and tacking up, the student will get on the horse or pony. Loretta chooses to use a riding theory based on safety and balance which give the student a safe, secure seat.
Each and every lesson builds on the previous knowledge. The lesson will start with a brief verbal review. This lets Loretta know if the lesson should go on as planned, introducing the next material, or if the previous material needs to be repeated.
