Training and Lesson Philosophy

Eric demonstrates extreme tact in his training and teaching. "I like to think of myself as a problem solver. First off, never approach a situation with an expectation. Always take in a new perception, take action, and then learn from the past reactions to build a positive experience that reaches understanding through consistency. Great results are achieved through patience, consistency and tact."

Eric is a Level III USEA Certified Instructor and has a great reputation for making his lessons both fun and educational. "I believe that the rider needs to understand what exactly they are looking for. I think in today's fast paced culture, we are losing touch of our communicative skills with people let alone horses. I see more riders trying to ride an end result picture for the show ring rather than having a clear understanding of how or why you want a horse to go the way you want them to go. A money making industry is built around the fast track and instant gratification for horse owners and riders, from artificial aids to supplements, but nothing can replace good training."
