Balanced Awareness
Autumn Ridge Farm, LLC is proud to be a site of the Balanced Awareness® program. Balanced Awareness® combines techniques of classical horsemanship with biomechanics and flexibility training to improve the partnership between you and your horse. The program focuses on developing a balanced seat for the rider and a balanced way of going in the horse. It is based upon the premise that no amount of horse training will be successful unless the rider has the skills to appropriately ride the horse. English and Western riders and their mounts, from green to advanced, have benefited from the Balanced Awareness® approach. It is especially appropriate for adult riders since the program focuses on keeping your seat in the saddle, not on the ground! The Autumn Ridge Farm instructor is the founder of the Balanced Awareness® program and has started and trained riders and horses for more than 20 years. She has been a successful show coach in both English and Western disciplines.

About Lessons
Lessons at Autumn Ridge Farm are given on your horse. Lesson students pay a $25.00 per month facilities fee, which covers use of the riding arena and the round pen. Of course, this fee is waived for students who board their horses at Autumn Ridge Farm. Fees for lessons vary and are set by the instructors. Our instructors work cooperatively so students can benefit from both programs.
