Owner and Instructor Michelle LaFleur has been involved with horses in one way or another since childhood. She started out showing her ranch bred pony, Chiquita, in 4-H as a Western rider. In college she expanded her experience by learning Dressage (classic form of riding). As an adult, she added Carriage driving to her repertoire. Currently she is an Advanced Level Therapeutic Riding Instructor certified through PATH (Professional Assoc. of Therapeutic Horsemanship, Intl) as well as a Lead Evaluator for Registered and Advanced level Certification testing. She was employed at Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center for eleven years during which time she was the Equine Coordinator as well as an instructor. She has had her own facility since 2006. Most recently, she attended a clinic hosted by the Western Dressage Association of America called Train the Trainers to further enhance her skills in the up and coming discipline of Western Dressage.
