. . . PROFESSIONAL TUITION Tuition is available at all levels for both horse and rider. Anne Chappelhow is a natural born teacher. She helps you to understand your horse and, in doing so, gives you a better understanding of what you are asking of the horse. This results in a better, more responsive, more satisfying, understanding partnership between horse and rider along with overall improved performance. Advanced tuition will help those committed to their sport, working on their natural talents, improving and learning alternative techniques, in turn giving individuals the edge over fellow competitors. |
