Instruction:

All lessons are taught by Heather Jackson. Heather has been eventing since she was 11 years old and has always been a rider that had to make what she rode. Her lifetime experience as a horseperson combined with her training as a graduate HA pony clubber and eventer through the Preliminary level gives her an approach to riding that is rooted in solid fundamentals. Heather believes that in order to have a safe, confident ride, both horse and rider must be over-prepared for the challenges at the level they compete.

Heather has been instructing riders professionally since 1994. She coaches several young riders regularly in eventing, jumpers and dressage. She was the 2007 Event coach for the South Region's eventing teams at US Pony Club Nationals.

Instruction focuses on the rider having a balanced seat and soft contact that encourages self-carriage in the horse. She teaches riders and horses to be responsive and flexible in order to maximize athleticism. The primary goal for both horse and rider is to be confident and this depends on solid fundamentals.

Lesson Program:

Our lesson program includes levels of riders that range from beginners to seasoned competitors. Most lessons are taught individually or in small groups of 1-3 riders. We have several school horses we use for riders who do not have their own horse.

Lessons - $160 for a monthly package of 4 lessons. Lessons are taught at our facility. Riders may also trailer in for lessons.

Coaching - Springstone Equestrian regularly attends events throughout Area III and occasionally outside of the Area. We also attend Regional and local Dressage as well as A Circuit Jumper shows. Coaching is available at shows for riders who have previously ridden in lessons with Heather. Coaching fees are separate from lessons and training fees.
