Riding Refinery
Re-Define The Way You Ride
Welcome To The 30 Day Riding Reset!
The Riding Refinery mission is to transform horses and their riders – one step at a time, one stride at a time, and one ride at a time. Riding and training horses doesn't have to be some mysterious hit or miss activity. There is a better way. I teach riders how to connect and communicate more effectively with their horses both on the ground and under saddle using a combination of modern science and ancient training techniques. Clear and effective communication is the cornerstone of any good relationship, and your relationship with your horse should be no different. I will help you and your horse learn to speak a common language and build a better relationship. I always start with the time tested methods of the Old School that have proven effective and reproducible for centuries. The Old School, to which I refer, is a very specific training lineage that lived within the pre-World War II Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria. Within the Spanish Riding School, this line of training became known as the Weyrother method named after the famous chief rider Max Ritter von Weyrother. These unique training techniques found a new life in the new world in the form of the Mikolka Method. Karl Mikolka was the last student in the Weyrother training lineage of the Spanish Riding School. He brought these methods to the US and spent 40 years honing, refining, and expanding them.
Taken from the Mikolka Method of training, the exercises and information contained in the 30 Day Riding Reset are the first step in helping you Re-Define The Way You Ride with the ultimate goal of helping you become your own trainer.

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart. Proverbs 17:3
As fire refines precious metals by removing impurities, so too does the trainer refine the horse by daily gymnastic work in the arena.
The time tested gymnastic training process of the Old School improves the horse by imparting mobility to joints, strength to muscles, and refinement to the intellect.
