Instructor Sarah Malecha

Horses have been a way of life for me. I enjoy sharing that love of horses through teaching. I grew up on a horse farm, riding english and western and spent a lot of my childhood trail riding. When I was 13, I discovered the magnificent sport of eventing. I was hooked. I joined the United States Pony Club, which provided a foundation for horse care, safety, riding, teaching and stewardship. I have had many horses through the years that have all provided me with many lessons.

Most notably, my horse Pete opened up a lot of doors for me. After high school I lived in Florida and was a working student for Becky Holder. My time in Florida was an intense learning experience. When I came back to Minnesota, I started teaching riding lessons through Pony Club and completed Pete at the Preliminary level of eventing. Pete is still competing with his new owner.

While in school at St. Catherine University I took some time away from the competitive scene and improved on my riding by spending my January’s in North Carolina with Becky Holder. I am looking forward to bringing my young horse, Mr. Brightside through the ranks of eventing.

Currently, I am offering lessons for those just getting into horses or those with experience. I strive to give new riders confidence and a strong foundation for them to build on however they chose. I teach beginner western lessons with an emphasis on a basic balanced position. I also teach english riders of all levels, including more specifically dressage and jumping.

Lessons are private, with the option of group lessons for more experienced riders. Lessons are 50 minutes in length. Lessons will include basic horse care and safely working around a horse. Brushing, tacking, bridling will be included until the rider shows competence in these areas to move towards independence.
