an "open trainer" policy and or your personal
facility provided you have an adequate working area. Instruction (and show
coaching for some disciplines) is available in Hunters/Jumpers, Dressage,
Eventing, Western/Reining, Pleasure, Natural Horsemanship, and Basic

*NOTE: Those of you who have been with me for awhile are already aware
of the fact that there is a Fall/Winter schedule and a Spring/Summer
schedule. This change occurs right around School letting out for the Summer
and School starting up again in the Fall. At these times I do my best to not
change the schedule too much but it inevitable that it will change
somewhat. As always, I try to accommodate everyone as best I can.
Cancellation List
If you would like to be on the Cancellation list (provided you are in my
travelling area) please contact FDT and you will be informed when there
may be an opening. If possible, you will be notified in advance but
sometimes it can be short notice. Feel free to check in on the calender as
well.
