Sitting on a Horse
About Us

Sitting on a Horse
is a confluence of horsemanship and meditation.  
Because of the sensitive and intuitive nature of
horses, they are ideal teachers in the way they
mirror our states of mind.
Having been riding for over 40 years, and having
had the good fortune to have excellent teachers,
both human and equine, throughout my life,  
I have been training horses and teaching riding
for over 20 years,
participating in many musical freestyle,
pas de deux and quadrille performances,
as well as dressage tests through Level 4.
I enjoy training many types of horses, and have  
worked with many Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods,
Lipizzans, Arabians, Andalusians & other breeds.
It is my aspiration to practice, protect & promote
traditional horsemanship as set forth by the
lineage of the Spanish Riding School of Vienna,
through Alois Podhajsky and Karl Mikolka.
