Horseman's Hangout

What They're Saying

Marcia Nelson is a role model many can follow with continued success as a teacher; on the trail, in competition, and in partnership with a horse.

She encourages a partnership with the horse that is exemplary. She teaches the rider how to understand the mechanics of riding. Her extensive training allows her to help her students ride in a way that is kind and effective with the horse.

One aspect of Marcia's work is as a Competitive Trail Coach of which she and her students have numerous awards and achievements in association with NATRC (North American Trail Ride Conference) which sanctions rides in its six regions ranging from Hawaii to Maine and from Canada to Mexico. www.natrc.org

Saturday Bareback Club will continue to meet throughout the year.

Horseman's Hangout in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley

We have a private 10 acre home & horse ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley in Calif. We have several arenas, jumps, cross country jumps, obstacles and more. All of your favorite lesson horses are happy, thriving and love to see all of you!

No matter what discipline of riding or sport you desire, all foundational skills are always taught here.

Here there is a common thread to achieve harmony where respect and love for the horse comes first and foremost.

A positive change in human behavior brings positive changes in equine behavior.

Personal Trainer

Everyone dreams of that perfect relationship with their horse that creates the ultimate winning team. Not only is that possible, but here at Horseman's Hangout you can achieve it.

Horses are as unique and diversivied as the individuals they are working with.

They reflect our emotions and actions as if looking in a mirror.

Horses react to current experiences based on past experiences.

A familiar feel, look, sound or taste from thier past will create a reaction in the current.

That reaction will be negative or positive based on whether that previous sensual memory was good or bad from their point of view.

This can play a key role in understanding the horse and how to help them understand and cope in our human world.
