Train with Frances
Frances offers lessons and training in Classical Dressage, Western Dressage and Working Equitation in the Tallahassee area. Hourly lessons are available on your horse or one of Frances’ advanced and safe schoolmasters. All levels and ages of rider and horse are welcome.
For students interested in showing, Frances teaches all aspects of that process in a supportive team atmosphere. While showing can provide a valuable means of setting and achieving goals, Frances does not believe it to be crucial to the development of the horse/rider relationship.
