Everyone at DH starts bareback...no saddle means we can "hear" the energy and language of the horse.  We learn how to become a partner with a prey animal earning its trust.  Our unique riding and classroom approach sets a foundation of knowledge suitable to transfer to any discipline.  Our whole horse approach is perfect for first time riders and experienced riders seeking a deeper connection. Our philosophies are full of  possibility and by stepping outside classical certification approaches, we're able produce an equine experience that goes against the grain, making us unique and holistic.  We offer an alternative.

DH progressions are at the pace of the rider, they are not pre-fab, concrete or method.    We believe that the natural approach removes comparisson, critisism and competition.  Our commitment to you and your child is simple...their worth is not measuruable on a predesigned level scale.  Here, their safety and well being is paramount and our top priority.  DH encourages the ebb and flow, of a relaxed teaching atmosphere that is safe, judgement free and outside of the confines of traditional riding approaches.  What the rider puts in...they get out.  By removing "pass or fail" levels, the rider is encouraged to find their voice; their inner power.  The results are a greater sense of self, empowerment and awareness.
