Horses were never meant to carry riders; us humans are just sacks of potatoes on their backs – but Naomi will teach you to be the best sack of potatoes you can be. You can expect plenty of humor, cheering and unique explanations of riding concepts in her lessons.
Naomi has been riding since the age of eight and owned horses since age twelve. Her formal riding education includes Canadian Pony Club, 4-H, and Equine Canada Rider Levels.
