Dale has been inspired and influenced by many great horsemen throughout her life.  Dale has participated in clinics with Buck Brannaman, David Weaver and Gwynn Turnbull-Weaver, Peter Campbell, Jon Ensign, Steve Rother and many others.  She is motivated to continue on her journey and help others find the “harmony with their horse” though respect, softness and feel. Dale has been involved in many different facets of the equine industry since childhood including, showing, 4-H, Search & Rescue, endurance riding, cow-working, ranch roping, veterinary management & guest speaking.

 

Dale is excited to share her love of horses with children and adults.  She hopes to inspire those around her.

 

Dale has instructed the horsemanship program for the City of Bellevue, Parks and Recreation at Kelsey Creek Farm for several years and continues year round lessons and clinics at a covered arena facility.

 

We believe in offering a variety of equine experiences and opportunities to our students.  These may include:  liberty work, trail riding, endurance riding, beginning cow-working and ranch roping, as well as traditional showing.   Come see what all the excitement is about!

 

Western Sky Horsemanship is involved with school systems and supports Work Based Learning.  This gives youth the opportunity to learn the discipline of multi-tasking, time management, public speaking skills, organizational skills, cost and expense business management.  She is committed to teach her students about many of the responsibilities of horse leasing or ownership.  She emphasizes treating others as well as the horses with respect.

 

We offer a variety of lesson horses for the Horsemanship lesson program.  The lesson horses are responsive, respectful and very loving.  Clients are also welcome to bring their own horses as well to find the joy and harmony with horse ownership.

 

2007 was filled with much excitement, from successful horseshows, sponsoring youth riders in endurance rides, taking the top 4 junior riders!  We also had a busy season with outdoor trail and cow working adventures! 

 

This year is off to a super busy start with clients joining in the joy of horse ownership, or leasing, planning for the horse shows and an exciting trip for WSH students to Canaan Ranch in Tonasket, 3 days of outdoor trail challenges, and cow working.  We're also busy training for our next endurance ride with Dale again sponsoring and riding with youth riders, teaching them how to condition their horses and camp safely.  The adventures continue. 

 

This program emphasizes safety and safe horse handling skills.  All lessons consist of groundwork, as well as riding.  All disciplines are welcome.

 

It is our focus to build self-esteem, confidence, co-ordination skills and develop a sense of responsibility with all of our students.
