Leigh-Ann's Riding Academy Private English Horseback Riding I give lessons at a small private riding facility in Las Vegas area near the South Strip. Appointments only Please.

email me for full info [email protected] I offer Professional Private English Riding Lessons, Specializing in beginner riders, basic skills of Hunter Jumper, Equitation, and flat work. Lesson horse available, all lessons are private lessons, children 5 years old - adults welcome. Our barn, and the riding program I run is designed for people who are, and want to be long term dedicated equestria

n riders. If you are looking for a one time ride or a trail ride I may not be the riding facility for you. If you are looking for a high end showing facility I may not be the barn for you but I work closely with some great show facilities I can recommend a barn that would fit your needs. My barn is kind of the middle ground a great place to start your horseback riding education. Please note... for your safety all riders will start riding on a lunge line or a lead rope. All riders will ride on a lunge line until riders can gain confidence, learn how to develop a proper seat, hands and to learn how to control of the horse, at the walk, trot and canter. Lunging is a great tool used in lessons Tips for Riding on the Lunge Line Read about why I start new riders on a lunge line Teaching On The Lunge Line . Riding does take a long time to master take your time and stick with it. I have been riding, training and showing horses for 20 years. My goal is to provide you a safe, fun, and stress free atmosphere so you can enjoy learning how to ride and care for horses. When you take lessons you will learn how to be safe around horses, how to lead and handle horses, how to groom, tack up, how to keep a horse healthy and happy, and of course you will learn the fundamental skills of horseback riding that will make you a great rider. If you are already a rider and you would like to improve your riding skills lessons are the place to start. Riding is a great way to stay fit and is supported by weightwatchers. There should always be open lines of communication, trust, ultimate loyalty and devotion between riders, trainer and horse. If you are unhappy or have questions about lessons please talk about it tell me your long term plans, my job is to help you with everything. Some information about the horse you will be riding. Amanda is a Hanoverian mare, her father is a very well known stallion Graf Gotthard from The Hanoverian G-Line. She has some famous family members such as Graf George who has been on the USA Olympic Team. When Amanda came in to our lives she was at Hap Hansen farm in Rancho Santa Fe CA. with her half brother Graf George at the very same barn. We got very lucky finding her and it was love at first sight. Amanda and I went on went on and had a very successful showing career, winning many hunter year end championships with SNHJA, did great in the dressage arena, but the jumpers is where we did our best in the show world. Now Amanda in a bit older and suffers with a injury in her hoof called Navicular, she can no longer jump the large jumps she did in the past, but that's not going to stop her from doing being a great horse. She is a very talented,sweet,kind,loving horse. Because we have such a great bond together she makes the perfect horse for me to give lessons on. Weight limit for riding Amanda is 180 pounds

Jim Wofford: “I want your lower leg position to look exactly like this: ball of your foot on the tread of the stirrup, your little toe against the outside branch of the stirrup, heels lower than your toes, weight distributed equally across the stirrup, stirrup leather vertical, and the stirrup perpendicular to the girth. Rather than pressing your heels down, have the feeling your stirrups are pushing your toes up. Your foot should be diagonally across the stirrup with a slight angle to your horse’s body; that angle should be the same as that with which you walk. This angle ensures the correct alignment of your joints and is the most efficient means of absorbing the shock of galloping and jumping.

Pay close attention to the spur and strap in this photo: The spur is fitted correctly with the shaft parallel with the seam of the heel box and the shank of the spur turned down. The buckle is centered above your instep, because in that position it is least likely to hang up on your stirrup when you fall off. Your spur should not be in constant contact with your horse’s side. If your heels are up and you are gripping with your spurs, your horse is behind your leg.

In this column, Jim examines the “tools” we use to ride—the existing tools we can improve and the entirely new tools we can develop during the winter. At its most basic it’s legs and hands, your position, your voice and—maybe most importantly—your knowledge of horses and their responses to various stimuli >> https://bit.ly/2vfJXau

Great instructors repeatedly show characteristics that make positive effects on their students. They are the ones that make a difference in their riders in one single ride. What are these traits?

Merry Christmas!
