Angie Karr, Certified Instructor and Riding Master graduate of Meredith Manor International Equestrian Centre.
Angie's philosophy is that, regardless of breed or potential, all horses are trained with a classical dressage foundation which emphasizes trust, communication, and fosters a willingness in the horse to please the rider. While most of Angie's students prefer a western saddle, the basic concepts of forwardness, straightness, balance, and disciplined freedom of movement improve horses and riders of all styles. A well-developed seat, independent aids, and a non-confrontational theory of horsemanship is an asset to any rider, whether in the show ring or on the trails.
Horses in training learn fundamental concepts, both on the ground and under saddle. All training horses are ridden in snaffle bits at Hobby Horse Stables.
Hobby Horse Stables is proud of the Hobby Horse Hoofprints Drill Team, captained by Angie Karr. The Drill Team performs at competitions through the Midwest in western saddles and dressage bridles, in an effort to harmonize classical dressage with western riding and to promote natural horsemanship. Both students and boarders are offered several opportunities throughout the year to try out for the Drill Team.
If you are in the Cedar Rapids area, please give us a call to discuss your horse needs. Visitors are always welcomed, but appointments are appreciated to ensure a one-on-one meeting. Auditing lessons and/or training sessions can be arranged with Angie on an individual basis.
