We start from the beginning and learn our responsibilities as horsemen, then together lets navigate your equine journey! In the Elevate family, the name has a lot of meaning. First, our focus starts with uplifting our HORSES and EACH OTHER! When you are educated and supported by a family of horsemen, your journey through horsemanship becomes POSSIBLE! My dream has always been to build a tight knit group of horsemen who all have goals and vision for their horse's future. I have been BLESSED with the greatest family of horse enthusiasts. One thing I always strive to be is honest about what I see. I want those around me to know that I will always support them in their journey, and by supporting you I mean I will PUSH YOU! I love to watch horses and people grow, and I want to help YOU and YOUR HORSE achieve it all. As a barn we all are driven to learn more about our horses bodies and we focus of proper training, starting with diet, soundness, chiropractic and HORSE FITNESS. When your horse feels good, they will WANT to work with you. My main practice has been c**t starting and performance horses. I believe in a well trained horse that is versatile and usable. That being said I give instruction in basics of western and english, and the spectrum covers pleasure, horsemanship, equitation, dressage and ranch horse. I received a judges card for the ASHA as well. I have learned many training techniques including clicker training and even dove into R+ training, all to understand more theory and to have more tools in my box for every horse that comes down the road. Even if you are just looking to build your relationship with a horse you don't ride, you may find what you are looking for here. I offer lessons starting with basic horsemanship skills through restarting, problem solving and then moving into the show world. I am a 4H leader and am passionate about youth development. We attend large open shows a few times a year as well as smaller schooling shows. As the client base grows, we will be moving into breed shows and stock horse association. We offer clinics of many kinds at our facility at Horse Feather Stables in Newberg Oregon. If you started with lessons and want more, I also have lease options available for the family who isn't ready for the HUGE commitment that is buying a horse. Lease a few days a week to practice caring for a horse with the guidance of horse professionals overseeing the barn as well as a huge barn family. Walk through the barn doors, wash the stress of your hands, set down your troubles of daily life and get ready to ELEVATE!
