Dear Equestrian,

     Cotter Equestrian is offering training programs throughout the year
 for students who are interested in creating a solid foundation in the 
equestrian field. Our intense training program is focused on both horse 
and rider. Our facility encourages the serious student to improve their 
skills and become a more effective rider and trainer. Students will spend 
the day analyzing and understanding riding/training techniques to ensure
proper application. Courses cover centered riding techniques, round pen 
training, horse communication, along with lessons in jumping, dressage 
and cross country. All aspects of horse care and barn management are 
included. Cotter Equestrian Center has a  variety of horses at various 
levels, which enables the student to see the progression of training.
