Leigh Farms Collective is an education-first riding and training program built around practical horsemanship and long-term development. I primarily work with adult amateurs, first-time horse owners, and non-competitive riders who want to build real skills in a supportive, low-pressure environment.
All training programs operate on either a two-day or three-day per week schedule and require a three-month minimum commitment. This structure provides the consistency horses and riders need to develop correct habits, build confidence, and make meaningful progress over time. Every horse-and-rider partnership is unique, and progress is guided by individual needs rather than arbitrary timelines or milestones.
My approach begins with strong groundwork, moving into fundamentals on the flat, emphasizing balance, communication, responsiveness, and rider effectiveness. Work over fences is introduced when horse and rider are ready, with jumping approached thoughtfully and in moderation. The goal is not to chase height, but to develop confident, capable partnerships while prioritizing the horse's long-term soundness, comfort, and longevity.
Above all, I believe horsemanship is about understanding the horse in front of you. Through clear communication, consistent expectations, and thoughtful instruction, I help horses and riders build the skills and confidence needed for success both in and out of the saddle.
For riders whose goals eventually extend beyond this program, I am happy to help facilitate that transition through my trusted professional network. Leigh Farms Collective is designed to provide a strong foundation for lifelong horsemanship—not a ceiling on future growth.

No. Leigh Farms Collective is not a competitive show program. While solid riding fundamentals are always the goal, this program is not centered around showing.
