Yvonne Brooks

Yvonne Brooks
Classical Riding Instructor
My lessons are structured to help encourage patience and confidence between horse and rider. The French Classical style is geared to create harmony and confidence. It aims to aid communication between horse and rider by using our breath and our balance to assist the horse to be able to use his body and balance to develop true self carriage and, therefore, the lightness that we seek.
