Helping humans and horses communicate

Equestrian Ventures Training and Instruction

For Lessons on my horse, in town:

A RIDING LESSON IN TOWN (Houston, TX 77018)

Virginia Neal Ellis teaches equestrians - utilizing the framework of Positive Reinforcement, R+ - horseback riding lessons, handling, husbandry or care lessons, 

with her excellent horses

just north of downtown Houston. 

My horses would be totally suitable for beginners, IF I were willing to use traditional dominance based training. However, I want to be utilizing Positive Reinforcement - R+. Their wellbeing requires some skill and confidence from their R+ partner. I just don't want my horses to be slaves. I want them to be partners. 

Do you have some experience riding? Do you also have other experience with ABA or have you trained a dog, chicken, cat, zoo animal, pig, fish, bird or other creature using R+?

If so, would you like to work with my amazing Mustang or Warmblood, utilizing choice, consent, R+ with classical conditioning? You'll get to experience an entirely different sort of horse relationship. It's truly enriching, for both of you. 

Must have some experience riding. Click the Questions button below.

Helping humans and horses communicate, to reach goals from very basic to most advanced. 

We will develop relaxation and use desirable R+ forms of reinforcement. 

Come share a lifetime of experience in a personalized, one on one environment. 

I can only accept students who have some previous history of using positive reinforcement, R+, with other pets or horses and a desire to be force free.

Virginia is available for lessons mostly during the day, during the week. She mostly works with adults. 

I teach using an English saddle, with a bitless bridle. I believe that having a balanced seat in an English saddle (or Bareback) will allow us to be comfortable when riding in any style saddle. As we move with the horse, syncing in tempo and rhythm, communicating in a way the horse desires, we find that use of the reins becomes unnecessary.
