Testimonials
Report
As an upper level rider who was traveling frequently and needed someone to help start my young horse, there was no question in my mind as to who to send him to. Erika is the most correct, positive rider I know and takes superior care of the horses in her barn. I would recommend Erika's training program to everyone and believe she can make an average young horse into a future star.
Meet the Horses
Report
I am a 9 year old Thoroughbred mare. I can do it all. I am a very good girl if you are just starting to jump and very fun if you already know how. I am very good at dressage too. You name it. I can do it! I am a 23 year old Arab mare that loves little kids. I am great with kids and beginners. My gaits are very smooth so if you do not have very good balance, I can help give you confidence.
Training Philosophy
Report
At GLEC, we follow a tried and true training program to help you gain overall confidence, trust and respect for your horse. We start with the basics of rider position, seat and leg aids, balance, and communication. From there we move on to more advanced study of balance where we incorporate Centered Riding techniques and the study of bio-mechanics to help riders gain confidence in their seat and create an independent leg.
