We have a new instructor in the barn!

I have had the privilege of knowing Lena since she was six years old and just starting out on her equestrian journey. Last year, we sent one of our smaller homebred AR horses to her to get started and she did a phenomenal job, and when she expressed interest in staying in Montana to teach and train we offered up the use of our facility and lesson horses to her and she joined us this summer.

Lena Hylton is a recent graduate of UM Western with a degree in Natural Horsemanship and an emphasis in Instruction. She is passionate about starting young horses and helping riders of all experience levels grow in their horsemanship.

Whether working with someone just getting started in their horsemanship journey or a more advanced rider looking to refine their skills, she emphasizes building confidence, knowledge, and effective communication between horse and
human.

She’s available for horseback riding lessons for riders of all levels ages 6 & up, and feel free to contact her if you have a younger rider looking for some leadline experience or horse time.

You can book lessons with her at https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=39706375 and message us for more info.
