Taylor specializes in starting and restarting horses under saddle, as well as helping horses and their owners to find balance and communicate effectively - regardless of discipline. Her methods include elements of classic dressage, vaquero horsemanship, classic show jumping/gymnasticizing, and horse and rider biomechanics. This school of training and management allows for horses to be sure-footed, careful, and athletic to the best of their ability.... (read more) They can handle varied environments and terrains while being focused and sound for work, competition, or recreation.
Taylor gives horses, from foals to mature competitors, a strong foundation for how to learn, how to handle new and stressful situations thoughtfully, and how to use their bodies effectively. This foundation starts with ground work. Horses learn to willingly lead correctly, stand tied, stand for the farrier, load and unload the trailer, accept tack, be ponied, and work on the lunge line, and more.
Their under-saddle education complements this groundwork, with focus on dressage in the classical sense; (the French root of the word) meaning the art of riding and training a horse in a manner that develops strength, flexibility, suppleness, balance, and willingness. Classical riding is the art of riding in harmony with, rather than against, the horse; and the benefits apply to all breeds and disciplines: English or western, competitive or recreational.
At Rancho del Comienzo, we strive to bring out the best in every horse and horse and rider/handler pair. Horses (and humans!) learn how to learn, and how to use their bodies to the best of their abilities to succeed in any discipline of their choosing.
