Welcome to AAE Stable

With nearly three decades in the horse industry, I’ve been fortunate to learn from some of the world’s most accomplished horsemen and women. Along the way, I’ve not only shown across multiple disciplines—I’ve been very successful in them. But more importantly, those experiences taught me how to bring out the best in each horse and rider I work with. Reining is our foundation!

At AAE Stable, we offer a full program designed to support horses and riders at every stage:

• Horse Training – From colt starting to fine-tuning performance, we create soft, confident, and well-rounded horses ready for their next step.

• Horse Sales & Matchmaking – Helping riders find the right horse and placing horses in homes where they can succeed for the long term.

• Riding Lessons – Personalized coaching for riders of all ages and skill levels, with options to use your horse or one of ours.

• Clinics – Hands-on learning experiences that bring riders together to grow in confidence, communication, and horsemanship.

We believe it is not only important to properly train the horse but the owner/rider as well. We can put all the buttons on your horse but you also need to be able to understand them.  Our goal is to help you and your horse reach your full potential—together.

At the heart of everything we do is our foundation:

Groundwork (6 Days/Week)

Every horse spends time on thoughtful, detailed groundwork that sets the foundation for everything under saddle. The goal isn’t just obedience—it’s teaching the horse to think, stay soft, and use its body willingly instead of reacting out of fear.

Groundwork includes:

• Trail course exposure & water crossing

• Moving off pressure with softness and thought

• Halter/showmanship maneuvers (hips, shoulders, side-passing, backing, head lowering, trotting next to handler)

• Hobbling (if owner-approved)

• Trailer loading/unloading with calmness and confidence

• Rope exposure

• Round pen work "Liberty"

• Desensitizing with tarps, flags, umbrellas, machinery, kids, dogs, and more

• Cap gun shooting (mounted shooting prep)

• Blanketing, clipping, bathing

• Standing tied and learning patience

• Building independence through alone time

• Saddling

• Ground tying

• Dragging objects

• Hauling to other arenas and events for exposure

• Basic bow and lay-down techniques (by request)

• Harnessing & driving start (by request)

​

Riding Program

Each ride lasts approximately 1–2 hours following groundwork. Our focus is on being detailed and intentional with the little things—teaching softness, correct body control, and helping the horse think and use its body in balance, instead of relying on fear or tension.

Training includes:

• Softening the face and body

• Independent and combined body control

• Collection and rating

• Correct spinning and rollback techniques

• Stopping with the hind end

• Smooth gait transitions and lead changes

• Pressure-response development

• Customized training based on owner goals (trail, pleasure, performance, etc.)

• Indoor & outdoor arena work

• Trail course navigation

• Bareback riding

• Roping exposure (ropes thrown off the horse)
