Anastasia Carson Horsemanship And Western Dressage

Offering Lessons, Mobile Lessons, Training, Clinics, & Sales. Anastasia specializes in creating and strengthening authentic horse-rider partnerships.

Anastasia believes it is of utmost importance to impart on each student (horse & human) an attentiveness which develops mutual respect and pro-active thoughts. Teaching the student to observe and react, develops the “feel” in a student’s body and mind, contrary to many “mechanical” methods of doing things in a certain order or specific motions, creating “robots” who execute patterns without much depth of thought.
