Hello Everyone! I wanted to pass the word that I am teaching an Intermediate/Advanced Jumping Camp at Northern AZ Riding Stables from June 13th-15th, 9am-1pm. Here is the description: " Advanced Horsemanship Clinic- (Advanced Riding Level) This clinic is designed for the young riders who own or lease their own horse and would like to improve their riding skills through better communication with their horse. Whether it be ground work, flat work or jumping, this special clinic is offered by NARS resident trainer Kate Dixon who will work one on one with attendees to help improve the riding level of each rider. Kate believe's that people should learn to interact with horses by understanding their body language, the herd mentality, the horse's natural instincts, operant conditioning and extensive groundwork to establish and enhance the person-horse bond. In this clinic Kate will also cover a varitety of non-mounted topics such as leg wrapping, trailer loading, general first aide and overall horse healthcare." June 13-15 9:00am- 1:00pm $300 If you need stabling at NARS during this camp/clinic, cost is $10/night if we feed, $7/night if you provide the feed. Please call, email or text me for more info.

Hope everyone enjoys the videos! This is from this past weekend w/ Gina Miles, Olympic Silver medalist in Eventing. JB was fantastic...this was only our 2nd time on a real cross-country course. I am signing him up for his 1st event the 1st week in June, here in Colorado. I will not be heading to Flagstaff in May, but will wait until June. I will be there June11th-June16th and available to teach everyday after 1:30pm when the Kid's Camps are over. Sorry I cannot make it in May, but my husband is traveling to WY and we cannot coordinate childcare if we are both out of the state abd Jacob cannot miss any more school to come with me. Hope you all understand;-)

April Trip to Flagstaff

Wow! I had such an amazing time over this last visit in March. All of my students were in top notch form! Everyone worked really hard and we all had a great time. We had perfect weather before the big blizzard and I'm hoping for perfect weather in April as well.
I am booking lessons for my next trip, April 10th-14th and they are already filling up, so call me, text me, Facebook me, email me...whatever works best for you to secure your time slot!

As for anything happening in Feb, we will wait and see how my recovery goes. My doctor hopes to have me back in the competition saddle by June, so I remain hopeful to be back on BOTH feet soon! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

LATEST UPDATES for MILESTONE EQ

Hello Everyone and welcome to my blog! I will post updates regularly reguarding my travel, clinic , lesson and show schedule. Currently, my plan is to return to Flagstaff once a month, for a week at a time to teach lessons and work with horses in training. So far, I have been back twice and had a wonderful time re-connecting with everyone and their horses!
Unfortunately, this last visit was undermined by the weather. Between the high winds, snow and ice, most lessons had to be canceled. So, on that note, I am considering renting the indoor arena at FRC for my next visit. This will increase the cost of the lessons, but with enough students it should not hurt our pocket books too bad!
In other news, Susan Wolfe will be taking over the entire accounting process for Milestone in Flagstaff. If you need an exercise ride, bathing or grooming, please contact Susan directly to schedule your services. Checks will be made directly to NARS, instead of to Milestone. We are just trying to simplify the process. As always, I am available to consult on any training or exercising or general care or recovery care. Please do not hesitate to call me for anything!
