Star Hughes: Teacher, Trainer, Mentor
" Horses are Great Teachers!"
Star Hughes has spent much of her life learning about horses and working with them. Her approach to training each individual horse and rider is unique to their personality.
Most horses are willing to partner with people to find a balance that works for both horse and human.
The pleasure of being with, caring for, and riding horses provides an ideal opportunity for physical, mental, and emotional growth and learning. A horse can be a mirror for seeing yourself as you are, and as you wish to become!

What People Are Saying
"My daughter has shown great improvement in her personal confidence since starting here along with her riding skills, posture, and manner of speech among other things. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a child who loves horses and wants to immerse themselves in the horse world! There is so much to learn and everyone involved with this center loves to teach and help. This place is a blessing to our family."

"Star's method of teaching is amazing. After my first lesson with her, I knew that I was finally going to really learn how to ride. All I can say is listen to Star, believe in what she teaches. If she can take a 57 year old woman, give her enough confidence to get on a horse that would only back up when she got on it, have her cantering across a field without feeling sheer terror, really enjoying riding instead of fearing it! Imagine what she could do for you...."

One of Star's assets is her freedom from the conventional thinking concerning such strategies for such a case.
