Thunder Crest Performance Horses, Amenia

Thunder Crest Performance Horses instructor Kait takes a relaxed and positive approach to instruction. She's honed this technique over an equestrian career that started when she was just 8 years old, when she was riding and jumping on competitive circuits and most other kids were only climbing aboard horses as a way to pass roller coaster height requirements. Her work as an instructor, coupled with experience at a local thoroughbred breeding farm have taught her one of the most important skills any equestrian can have: the ability to foster a partnership with the horse. She tries to pass on this ability to her students, encouraging them to participate in all aspects of horsemanship during hands-on lessons, from tacking before the lesson to grooming, untacking, and watching game tape with the horse after the lesson ends.
