Dawn's Approach

 
Dawn uses a logical, progressive approach that emphasizes a harmonious and effective partnership with the horse. "I tailor lessons to the individual, being sensitive to both the rider and the horse's needs, goals, ability and confidence level.  I am willing to challenge the rider to step up to the next level when they and their horse are ready."
