LESSONS
About the Program:
“Centered and Serious”
 WW
Farms lesson program is less of a standard riding program and more of a
structured meeting of the mind and body of horse and rider. It’s a
physical and mental workout. It is less about walking, trotting or loping
around the arena, or the cones, or the tires, or the barrels, or the
poles; and more about mastering the “art” of control and balance through a
centered riding approach. If you can sit in the center of your horse and
maintain control over its body (not just its face) with your body (not
just your hands), while performing maneuvers that involve cones, tires,
barrels, or poles, than you can apply that art to what ever discipline or
sport you choose.
Our clients are diverse
in age, desire, discipline, and goal; but they are similar in that each
seeks to establish a good Western seat, raise their level of skill, and
heighten their riding performance.

About the Coach: Melissa Woods
(from the
horses mouth…)
 I
don’t have any big claim to fame. I just love riding and I enjoy teaching
others. I have been riding as long as I can remember and have ridden both
English and Western. I have been a member, and Barrel Racing competitor,
of CPRA (Cowboy Professional Rodeo Association) since 1998. I am also a WPRA (Women’s Professional Rodeo Association) competitor and money earner. Although my long-term personal
goal is an invite to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on the way to
the NFR, at this point I am honored to compete against the best of the
best, when it is feasible. And I am content staying close to home to enjoy
my family for now.
I have been asked by some
why I think I make a good coach and my reply is: I have a good eye for
balance and body mechanics of both horse and rider and I am serious about
helping others learn to ride, whether it is: for the first time, to
improve their riding skills, to break through frustrating plateaus, or
compete! And if I can’t help you, I promise, I know someone that can.
