Horse Training: Colt starting, re-starting adult horses, foundation work, problem solving, starting in disciplines. Coaching Riders: Lesson program, banishing fear and frustration, problem solving, confidence building, total horsemanship, care and training. Welcome to the Equestrian Dojo! We're just getting started here but stick around, there's lots to come! My name is Charlie and I'm the co-foun
der and head instructor here. I'm a mainly self-taught, eclectic horseman with just over 20 years experience. Originally from California, I've traveled all over the US working with horses and came back home to stay in 2006. Since 2015 I've been managing The Nexus, a small ranch in the foothills near Yosemite. If you've been training your own horse and having any kind of problem, or you just know you could use some help, get in contact with us! I will come to you! I'll listen to everything you have to say, help you and your horse get over any sticking points, and get on a path to fulfilling all your dreams of riding! I'm also going to be looking for places to run our future group lesson programs out of. My main service area includes everything within a 2-hour drive of Coulterville, California. At least for now! I'm open to talking about going further, but this is my core area! For now, hang out and a bunch more material is coming very soon! Thank you for being here and I look forward to serving you and your horses! OUR MISSION (Our "why")
1. Make the lives of horses and the people who love them better.
2. Increase peoples' safety, skill level and enjoyment of horses.
3. Banish fear and frustration, replace it with confidence and independence.

5. Spread good horsemanship as much as possible!
