Hello horse lovers. I would like to introduce myself. I am Carmen Herrmann Stiles of the World famous Herrmanns Royal Lipizzan stallion show.  I have decided to open my private stable to help others learn the true art of training and riding horses. I am offering full training, riding lesson, showing, and coaching.
I have taken what has been passed down from my family for over 300 hundred years, and have applied this classical and humane training style to all horses, and guess what...THEY LOVE IT! Problem horses...NO PROBLEM !!!
I focus on a natural balanced seat - very useful for dressage, jumping, trail riding and western disciplines. I follow the principles that Lynn Palm, Sally Swift, Susan Harris promote for rider equitation. Biomechanics, how the body works in motion, is very important. The first steps a rider needs to accomplish is how to become a PERFECT passenger, one that does not make the horses job physically harder or mentally stressful. These are a few things you will learn during your riding lessons.
 I follow a slightly modified version of classical horsemanship (calvary basics) combined with resistance free techniques. I want students to have a working understanding of how horses 'learn' and understand, a logical system of 'aids' and how to reward and when to discipline. 

Riding is a wonderful sport. It teaches respect, kindness, and responsibility. It can help give self esteem and help promote great work ethics. You are never too young or too old to enjoy the time spent with a horse. Come try our riding lesson program.

I want to thank my new clients, Jim and Louise Crews for giving me the oportunity to help make these Amazing Friesians, the partners they have always dreamed of owning. Their Rehabilitation has already started, and we are making Tons of Progress!! The best part of being a horse trainer is working with so many wonderful breeds of horses. Congratulations on owning this Incredible imported pair!
