ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS

ABOUT CAITLIN

Caitlin Adams is a 2nd generation horsewoman with years of show experience in hunter/ jumpers, English equitation, dressage, eventing, gymkhana games, and driving. She started riding in 1998, and training students of all ages since 2006. Many of her students that compete are successful, and all of her riders receive compliments on their good equitation/ horsemanship. Caitlin currently holds an Associates in General Studies/ Music, a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Masters/certification in Special Education with over 5 years of educational experience. Her favorite subject to teach is both math and science.  

Caitlin's philosophy of riding stems from students learning the core-four of horses; English, Western, Ground Work, and Driving. From this she sees that students learn all the fundamentals of horses, and develop a better understanding of horse psychology. Additionally, she strives in encouraging leadership skills, independence, and problem-solving skills for students through challenging and engaging activities for students to participate both on and off the farm.
