Inside Out Horse Training

We at Inside Out Horse Training are dedicated to improving and developing the relationship between horse and rider/owner. Our training is geared to build a strong foundation based on mutual respect and trust for an enduring and fun partnership for any level of rider and applies to a variety of disciplines. Whether you are new to horses, looking to... refine or refresh your skills, or learn new ones, we have the experience to help you obtain your goals. We teach the rider/owner to be aware of the horse and ride through feel instead of mechanics. The horse can learn to become more respectful and to do the tasks that we ask, but the real challenge is for the rider/owner to learn to understand the horse. The horse does not often need to make big changes - the rider/owner does. We teach people to learn to work with their horses. We teach a basic balanced seat, as it transitions well to most disciplines of riding, from western to trail to dressage. In learning to understand a horses motivation, the humans will find that they did not spend enough time developing the horses desire to try. It is much more rewarding to have your horse do something because he wants to, rather than because he was forced. Denise Lesnik has been involved with horses her entire life and earned a B.S. in Equine Studies from Wilson College, Chambersberg, Pennsylvania. She founded Inside Out Horse Training in 1999. A horse named Sun Son gets the credit for Denises current training philosophy. Sun Son and his refusal to get into a trailer led to further study of how to understand this horse and to develop of positive relationship with him. Denise has had many wonderful teachers along this way, most notably Terry Church (www.naturalsporthorse.com). Sofia Kalupski began riding at a young age, enjoying trail riding with her father. She began hunter/jumper riding by the age of 12, and training by the age of 16. Sofia began working at Inside Out in 2004 and has participated in many dressage and horsemanship clinics.Read More
