Training Program and Rates
Jaralyn's training philosophy is based on the classical training scale. Her approach with horses is systematic, patient and repeatable. Her approach with students depends on each person's riding goals, experience and learning style.
Jaralyn trains her own horses and a few select full training horses at her and her husband's Shepherd's Run Farm in Poolesville, MD. Ship-ins are welcome at Shepherd's Run, as the schedule allows.
