Having grown up around a horse stable with my sister as a youth, she suggested I find a similar place for our daughter once we moved to Katy. This lifestyle builds character in children and teaches them teamwork with their horses and other kids, and how to listen and follow directions. My daughter started as a student at this facility at age of 6 years, and she went from a "baby beginner" to an "extreme advanced" rider winning classes in various shows to a reserve championship & a major youth championship title. We couldn't say enough about the professional instruction, guidance, and support we received over the years from the owner/director and staff. Without them, none of what she has accomplished would have been possible. My daughter is well-prepared for showing in English and Western events - both of which she enjoys. The training she has received over the years is solid and she is a safety-prepared individual to enjoy equine activities into her adulthood. (This became evident to us as she grew and competed successfully in the raising and showing of multiple species of livestock in the majors---so much of her success is directly due to the discipline she gained from CLR from the tender age of 6 which set the foundation for her "drive for success" and ability to apply herself to the hard work it takes to get there.)
The facilities at CLR are continually updated and maintained with a covered arena for inclement weather and a larger one. I encourage everyone I know who is truly interested in building theirs or their child's riding skills to meet with Dr. Spitzenberger and join a class to match their level of experience and schedule. Monthly lesson fees are reasonable and fair and the value of life skills is beyond this minimal investment in your child, as I have experienced.
