CF. is an abbreviation for the Latin word confer, literally meaning "bring together". We strive to bring together horse and rider in such a way that makes every ride joyful for all participants. The foundation of our riding theory is deep-seeded in a combination of Classical Dressage and Centered Riding. We believe that EVERY rider can benefit from this foundation and once mastered, can take that knowledge anywhere (Jumping, eventing, hunter, polo, western, etc.)
To do this, we must create “thinking riders”. Why? How? When? These are the questions we will ask to make the rider more aware of everything going on around them (including the horse under them!). We will introduce theory into our riding instruction that has the rider understanding why it is we do something a certain way or what mistake was made that caused the horse to react in that way. The rider will understand the biomechanics of the horse and what makes them tic and how we can use that knowledge to make every ride an enjoyable experience.
We provide:
-Beginner horsemanship - for those that would just like to enjoy the horse on a basic level
-Beginner-Advanced Dressage instruction — for those looking to progress through the levels and possibly compete in the Dressage discipline
-Beginner-Intermediate jumping instruction — for use as a cross training tool for the dressage rider, or for those interested in starting in the hunter/jumper world
-Dressage and jumping training for your horse
-Training of young/unbroke horses
-Retraining of spoiled horses
-Lessons on your own horse - we'll come to you! or lessons on one of our fantastic horses.
