The Homegrown Rider Program: For DIY Parents
You're teaching your child to ride at home, but you're not sure if you're doing it right.
Get personalized coaching to build a custom riding plan for your kid and horse. No more guessing! Get a clear roadmap from an experienced coach who's taught 300+ riders.
You Know How to Ride. So Why Is Teaching Your Kid So Hard?
You remember cantering bareback through fields as a kid. The freedom. The confidence. You want that for your child.
​
But now that you're the one teaching? It's... complicated.
You catch yourself doing things for them instead of teaching them how. You Google "teaching kids to ride" and get buried in conflicting advice. You second-guess every decision—Is this too much? Too little? Am I creating bad habits? Is this even safe?
You felt so much freedom as a kid... but now you realize just how dangerous some of it was. You want your child to be independent, but not reckless. Confident, but not careless.
You're stuck between wanting to give them the world and terrified of doing it wrong.
What I've Learned After Coaching 300+ Kids
You don't need to become a professional instructor.
You know your child best. You know your horse. But you know there's a missing step.
That step is a plan that matches your child's age, your horse's temperament, and your actual situation.
The parents who struggle aren't the ones who don't know enough. They're the ones trying to wing it without a structure. They teach too much too fast (kid gets overwhelmed), or too slow (kid gets bored). They skip safety steps they didn't even know existed. They accidentally reinforce fear or frustration.
But when you have a clear progression? Teaching your own child can create lasting memories and confident riders.
MEET TARYN
I've been coaching riders for over fifteen years and taught 300+ students at everything from therapeutic riding camps to lesson barns to summer programs where kids went from never sitting on a horse to performing in a show in just one week.
Lately, I've noticed an amazing thing, people are going rural. Dedicated parents moving to the country (I love it!), get their child a horse (yes!), and suddenly realize... wait, how do I actually teach this?
You thought it would come naturally. After all, you know how to ride. But translating what you know into age-appropriate steps is a whole different skill. And you don't have a coach down the road to call when things get confusing.
That's exactly why I created this program. Not to turn you into a professional instructor, but to give you a clear plan so you can teach your child the foundations with confidence.
The HomeGrown Rider Program: 4 Weeks to a Clear Plan
This is personalized coaching where we build a riding plan together: for your specific kid, your specific horse, and your actual situation.
Here's how it works:
Before each of our 4 weekly sessions, you send me short video clips of your child riding (just a few minutes each showing where they're at).
Then we get on a video call together (just you and me, not your child) and we:
-
Review the videos and assess what's working and what's not
-
Talk through what you're struggling to teach and what makes you nervous
-
Build that week's lesson plan together: exercises, progressions, safety protocols
-
I help you translate your riding knowledge into teaching steps your child can actually absorb
After each call, you get a written summary so you have a clear roadmap for the week.
Between sessions, you can email me questions as they come up.
What you walk away with:
-
A 4-week progression plan tailored to your child and horse
-
The ability to structure lessons instead of winging it
-
Confidence that you're building safe foundational habits
-
Someone in your corner who's done this hundreds of times
-
You know how to ride, and:
-
You moved to the country, got your kid a horse, and realized you're rustier than you thought
-
Your child is getting frustrated or nervous because things aren't clicking
-
You keep doing things for them instead of teaching them how
-
Lessons are too expensive, too far, or just don't fit your life
-
You want to be involved in your child's riding journey, not outsource it
-
You're teaching Western riding and need a clear starting point

Horseback riding involves inherent risk. You are responsible for your child's safety, teaching decisions, and implementation of recommendations. Horses are unpredictable animals—proper supervision and safety equipment (helmets strongly recommended) are essential.
