Worthy Trails Horsemanship specializes in the family and trail horse, and we build horse and rider teams to be relaxed and responsive to one another. We do not teach a kick to go and pull to stop style of riding, we teach you to ride with your whole body to communicate with your partner. Our training method includes both pressure and release methods, incorporated with R+ training. We teach how to get your horse physically fit through both diet and the work you do on the ground and under saddle to be sure your horse is in peak condition to hit the trails as long as you please. Dressage basics along with western riding keep you connected with your horse in any situation.  

Worthy Trails Horsemanship offers a unique lesson program that meets the needs of any individual interested in learning about horses and horsemanship. Beginners can learn basic horse care and horsemanship skills, while advanced riders can learn training techniques, including mustang gentling and training. We are teaching people from the ground up to improve their horsemanship and riding techniques.
