Lessons

Amy offers limited private or semi private lessons in hunters, eventing, jumping, equitation, or dressage. All lessons build on classical training principles to create the best connection between horse and rider. The goal of all riding should be to have fun and help improve your horse along with building a strong partnership together. The focus is on how your position influences your horse and how to do as little as possible to get the results you are looking for. Horses learn best with patience and time, so we provide a positive, kind, and relaxed learning experience for both the horse and rider. Private lessons are $75 for an hour or $60 for half hour and others by request.

HORSE LAY-UP & REHABILITATION — this facility supports all types of equine rest and rehab, including complete stall rest all the way to large pasture turn-out. This is the perfect location for your performance horse to recover from major or minor injuries that other facilities aren’t able or willing to care for. Fox Valley has an updated barn and fencing for safety and private turnout in small paddocks as needed. Our paddocks and pastures are groomed and maintained regularly to assure your horse is in the healthiest environment and manure is cleared off of them daily. Larger stalls, including individual walk out paddocks are available for those horses needing stall rest and we can take care of any hand-walking or other special requirements needed. Services include wound care, wrapping, injections as needed, medication administration, private turn out, and any other special care needed- all with collaboration from your vet of choice.
Some of the special cases we have worked with include laminitis, cellulitis, torn ligaments, torn tendons, broken splint bone, wound infections, sarcoma, colic and surgery recovery.

FOUNDATION TRAINING — it is never too soon to start your young horse on the path of success and providing a solid foundation is essential to all riding disciplines. This program starts with ground training and equine behavior principles to allow your horse to understand each step as they progress to under saddle work. Skills your horse will learn include lunging, long lining, giving to pressure, being groomed and tacked nicely, standing for mounting, and being relaxed at the walk and trot. Horses of all ages can benefit from Foundation Training.
RE-TRAINING / PROBLEM HORSES — many horses have had a rough start or have developed undesirable habits that most amateur owners find difficult to fix. Retraining could be as simple as working with an off the track thoroughbred to learn rhythm, submission, and straightness, or teaching them to jump. Problem horses may have gotten that way from pain or negative experiences, so all problem horses are given a complete vet exam to be sure they aren’t in physical discomfort. Problem horses that we address include all jumping issues (stopping, running out, rushing), bucking, resistant to the bit, too quick or strong, and others by request.
