Teaching
Philosophy:
“
I do not give “McLessons.” I
teach horsemanship. I insist on a
horse-first mentality. I will keep
your ride safe, I will keep it fun and I will keep you progressing toward your
goals. My primary job is to
translate how your horse is reacting (or not) according to your cues.”
Training
Philosophy:
“
A happy, healthy, comfortable horse will do more-willingly- for the rider. I
like to find the horses’ talents and shape their experiences.
A horse that is rushed into learning will not retain the skills and will
become resentful. Prepare to train
with the horse-I will be teaching you at the same time.”
Mary
has worked with a variety of breeds under a talented group of trainers.
She enjoys and is experienced with a variety of breeds and styles of
riding.
