Waters Edge Farm has very active lesson and training programs. Natalie Hollis, our resident trainer, is in charge of these programs (for more information, see the Trainer page). Natalie teaches both children and adults, and has students from Beginner Novice to Intermediate level eventing. Our students can be seen at local competitions every weekend March to November. Natalie is also available for pony clubs and clinics. Ship-ins are welcome. Natalie was certified in Level II in the USEA ICP Program (through Preliminary) in 2004 and in June 2006 she passed her Level III. She is now one of about 12 people in the USA to be certified to teach to the OI and CCI** level! This is quite an accomplishment! (learn more about the ICP program)
::See photos of Our Students:: In addition to the lesson program, we are also accepting horses for sale or for training. Training is done by Natalie and her staff. This is a great way to get a good base on a green horse, get your horse moved up a level, or have them schooled up to be sold! We have several different training packages available to suit your needs. This can be arranged on a monthly, weekly or daily basis. WEF is also excited to offer instruction from farm owner Liz Patrick as well as from Kerri Long and Lesley Long. All three are long time students of Natalie's. Liz has had success at the Preliminary level with many horses, and is just starting to compete at the Intermediate level. Liz and Leslie have been certified by the USEA ICP Program for Level 1 - to teach through the Training level (learn more about the ICP program). Lesley is instrumental in starting the young horses here at the farm under saddle and competes at the lower levels. Kerri is an accomplished Preliminary rider who will be moving up to Intermediate soon as well as eventing numerous young horses for sale for WEF. All three are excellent instructors and offer beginner and low level Event training to both children and adults.
WEF has a few ponies and horses (including some retired upper level eventers!) to take lessons on. In addition lessons on your own horse, try a few lessons on one of ours!
