ABOUT/ TRAINING TECHNIQUES Hi! My name is Lily Journey. I am a young lady with passion for horses, riding, and teaching. I have been blessed to have trained under quality instructors such as Nancy Lucas, first student of George Morris. I have experience in both Western and English riding, but specialize in the Hunter/Jumper side of English, along with dressage basics. In addition to knowledge of jumping, I teach students horse care and the importance of safety. Because I think that is both important and practical for students to know how to take prepare to ride by themselves, students will learn the basics of grooming and tacking at the beginning and end of the first couple of lessons until the student is comfortable doing it himself.
THE GOAL/ME Whether you and your child are looking to be competitive in this amazing sport or are just wanting to fulfill a dream with horses, I want to help you meet that goal.
When I was young, I dreamed about just touching a horse. Until the age of eight, I had always broken out in a rash of nasty hives whenever I was around horses. The idea of riding horses through my life was heaven on earth. At the age of nine, I finally convinced my mom to let me take a riding lesson and see if I continued to have allergy issues. Miraculously, I have not had allergy issues with horses since. I have been greatly blessed in this way and love spending time out in the barn with my horse. :)
So, whatever YOUR riding goals may be, I want to help you fulfill them in a safe environment where you can have fun and learn lots! Horses are beautiful animals and are amazing to be around and learn about.
