About Afton
Focusing on Horsemanship as well as developing horse riders. Our lessons offer hands on experience in grooming, lunging, wound care, basic anatomy as well as equitation in Western or English riding disciplines. We want our clients to be ready to own and care for their own horses if they desire. Offering Internship opportunities for those who wish to have more out of the saddle time to learn how to care for their mounts.
With over 20 year horse experience as a trainer and rider, I have a unique set of skill I share with my students. From my time training Arabian Show horses in Australia, to Irish Warmblood jumpers in Ireland, to cutting horses here in Utah. Having the chance to study Equine Science at both Northwest in WY and Utah State University, I want to share all I have aquired over the years.
Enjoying the look in my students eyes as they nail down a new concept or the joy of their first ride. I love passing down the passion of working with these majestic creatures. Horses have so much to teach us about ourselves and how to commicate with them. Each lesson is a chance to challenge not only myself as the instructor but help my students find their inner strength.
After College I traveled working for other trainers to gain more hands on experience. Through that i discovered my desire to pass on my knowledge with the next generation of horse lovers. I worked though word of mouth with friends and family.
20 years of horse training and riding.
Worked with Travis Training Center and Future Farms with Arabain Show horses as trainer and show groom. Mendenhall Cutting horses as a rider and farm hand. Worked under Vicki Bowman as a rider and groom.
Studied at Northwest College and Utah State University for Equine Science.
Traveled internationally working with Hunter Jumpers in Ireland and as a Show groom and trainer for Arabain Show horses in Australia.
I continue to ride and go to clinics to develop myself as a rider and trainer!

English
Introduction to the horse, how to catch and halter. Go over safety with horses and how to groom. Lead course to help the rider learn verbal and nonverbal ques for walk and trot on the ground. Show what lunging is and why its important before jumping on the horse. Lastly we start riding bareback to develop balance and an independant seat. From there we will show how to saddle and continue to ride either western or english.
My program mostly focuses on beginners, those who have never touched a horse before. Since starting however we have students at all levels. Those who are just beginning their horse journey and those we have developed and are ready for shows, 4h, and are ready to move on to trainers in their specialized riding discipline.
Go do a meet and greet. Watch their lessons and get a feel for the barn you will ride at. Find the horses and trainer that vibe best with you and what you want to accomplish.
We take our students to schooling shows all over Utah County. The group of students get to show off their skills and compete with others of their own age. Its through events like this that they grow in confidence and excitment. Outside of the serious side of shows, we often have group game nights and trial rides to enjoy.
