Teaching Approach

Samantha and her team focus on developing healthy bodies and minds in both riders and horses through a complete horsemanship approach to lessons and training. Her goal is always to understand her student's personal dreams and to make them real during every ride.

Sam's methods focus on quality of riding, excellence of movements and helping riders to reach their competitive and level advancement goals without undue stress to the rider and horse.  Her approach is both encompassing and practical in its expectations for learning and growth by rider and horse. What does that look like?

• Continuous, sustainable improvement at an individualized pace that is tailored for each horse and rider
• Finding the best equestrian discipline for each horse and rider pairing: dressage, western sports, trail riding, competing or not. 

Lesson Format

• All riders at Billings Equestrian start with an assessment lesson. This will help us determine what the best plan is for each individual.
• Once riders are assessed, they are then placed into a 30 min private session or into a one hour group riding session. Beginner riders always start in private sessions, and can move to groups once they establish the skills needed to advance. There is also a weekly 1 hour horsemanship class that riders have the option to participate in  as well. 
• Riders who own their horse, or who lease, are part of a grooming package with Billings Equestrian which defines care responsibilities and lesson duration.
• You can check out our lesson horses here!
