For the last 23 years Jack and Paula Curtis have been helping horses and their owners reach new heights.
Their ability to articulate their ideas has an enormous impact on their students success.
Helping students understand the whole picture, what to look and feel for.
Because they have ridden both english and western they bring a multi-disciplined perspective knowing when and how to apply various training concepts in a way that helps the horse understand.
Paula Curtis wants her students to have fun and be creative in their riding. “I teach because I want riders to feel what is truly possible. If you can learn more about your horse, what motivates him and makes him interested in what you have to offer, then you can train effectively.” “Riding is about; feel, communication and partnership. Riders need to think from the horses perspective, and work with the horses mind.” says Paula.
If you work with the horses mind, the body follows. Paula’s concepts apply across disciplines
Her goal in teaching an understanding of the horse, is to get her students thinking and problem solving on their own. Then they are able to troubleshoot problems as they arise.
She has coached students in multiple disciplines including western events, eventing, dressage, hunters, jumpers, gymkhana, etc… Her students have gone on to compete successfully, locally, regionally and nationally.
Jack Curtis combines the best of quality horsemanship, classical dressage, and centered riding principles, to advance horses and their partners to new heights.
Growing up in southeast WI, he was starting horses under saddle for local breeders by the age of 14. He worked with a variety of breeds, hot bloods, cold bloods and everything in between. He has shown Jumpers, Dressage, and worked on a cattle ranch, starting colts for their cold starting company. Through this work, he gained an appreciation for the different disciplines, and each horses individuality and uniqueness.
For the last 23 years Jack has given lessons, clinics and demonstrations throughout the US. Let Jack help you expand your horsemanship in a more meaningful way for both horse and human.
Jack and Paula Curtis have been teaching and training their entire professional lives. They own and operate a boarding and training farm just outside of Milwaukee, WI where they live with their two young children.
What Are Others Saying?
“This is outstanding! I tried these lessons while riding my Half-Arabian Pony cross mare, and it made a huge difference. She is a very smart, but hot horse. The calming effects happened right away. I will definitely be using this as often as I can. Thank you for making a difference in my attitude towards bonded horsemanship!”
“I LOVE these lessons. It is awesome to be able to have a focus and a direction while I ride, just as if you were right there instructing me! I like the videos as well just to see it while someone else is doing the exercise. It really brings it all together! I can't believe no one has thought of this before. I am looking forward to more of these lessons!”
“I’m enjoying the awareness, communication, and relaxation these lessons are providing which is improving my horses performance! I love the Ride Playfully slogan which reminds me to always make it fun for both of us.”
