Angie Laposki has a strong background in barn management, but has seen a need for a solid, balanced beginner program. Using her foundation in barn management, Angie's program teaches not only riding, but horse husbandry as well, as she believes that in order to become a good equestrian one must know the basics. A trainer of beginners, Angie passes on her love of horses to others. She teaches her students everything from tacking up their horse, to jumping their first jump, and everything in between.
