Riding Lessons
| JM Performance horses is a family owned and operated Lesson and Training facility. We give beginner lessons from ages 5+. Our horses are leveled from beginner to advanced. All students get the attention they need weither it be with turning, loping, or stopping. Each student can have an individual lesson, or a group lesson with friends. We mainly teach western, but also do some English. As reward for students hard work, we provide some free trail rides, and love to take our students to Horse Shows! We also do a small show for just our students. Here at the farm we also like to appreciate our parents. We have trail rides especially just for them. Beginner or not, all of our parents love to take a relaxing trail ride. At the end of every lesson, the students have about 15 min of what we at the farm like to call "Free Time." We allow the students to work on what every they want to, or to play a group game. Our games can rang from practicing barrels, brushy carry race, or even Simon says. We are even having 2 weeks of summer camp! They will consist of games, learning horse facts, and fun. (please email for more info) We always have a mare bred, so every year all the students are anxiously waiting the arrival of a new baby! Every one is included in the beginning steps of training the baby before we find it a new home. We are unable to have a hired staff yet, but I would not trade my volunteer staff for the world. They are always ready and there when ever any of the students or horses need them. We have 2 instructors, Marie Grossnickle(farm owner), and Sara Kreh(assist. Manager). If you are interested in lessons(no matter what age) please don't hesitate to call (240)674-4650(Marie Cell) or give me an e-mail. I would be more than happy to talk with you. |
| Training |
| Here at JM Performance Horses we work at gaining leadership, control and respect for horses (foal-5 years) in a safe, non pressured method. At the farm we do alot of ground work, round penning, starting under saddle, trail riding, and showing(depending on time of year). Here at JM Performance Horses we stand by and believe that there is no bond so close then that between a horse and his rider. We are using Clinton Anderson and Craig Cameron methods! |
