Ashley believes strongly in continuing education and hosts variety of clinics at Galloping Springs Ranch. The facility also hosts a USDF level 1 competition called the Cactus Classic.
Training consists of training rides, ground work, and hacking and may include a combination of these sessions and lessons. Availability is limited to ensure adequate time to focus on each horse and rider’s goals.
