Lessons

Katrina and Tig

Siobhan is a passionate and energetic teacher who loves helping her students learn to ride and train their horses from green to Grand Prix, whether or not they desire to compete. Her primary goal when teaching students is to develop thinking riders. She wants them to understand when and why to use different techniques and exercises, so that they can feel confident riding on their own.

Haul-In Lessons

Siobhan enjoys working with students of all levels and backgrounds, including eventers and hunter/jumper riders who want to improve their flat work. All breeds are welcome. Haul-in lessons are available at Locks Edge. Interested in booking a lesson? You can schedule a lesson online at your convenience.

Clinics

Siobhan will travel for half day or full day clinics. Contact Siobhan for more information on availability and rates.

Remote Lessons

Remote lessons are available in whatever format is your preference–Pixem, Pivo, FaceTime and Zoom are all options. Contact Siobhan for scheduling information.

Our team attends a full schedule of shows throughout the show season. We have a fun, supportive group and welcome new additions. Our students have earned USDF Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medals and Freestyle Bars, and competed at the GAIG Regional Finals, CBLM Finals, USDF Finals, NAYC, and Festival of Champions/Young Horse National Championships. We’d love to help you achieve your showing goals, whether they are getting your feet wet at a schooling show, or being competitive regionally and beyond.

If you have a horse prone to scratches, like my cu If you have a horse prone to scratches, like my cute friend with three white socks here, I highly recommend @medicaequine products . Hans has extremely sensitive skin, and is very prone to scratches. Last year, I struggled to keep them in check despite trying everything in my arsenal—keeping legs clipped, chlorhexidine, stints on antibiotics, and other topical treatments—including ones that have usually been successful for me.  @jeremy_steinberg recommended I try Medica Equine, and the treatment wash and salve did an amazing job of clearing his legs up entirely. If you are struggling with skin issues, check this line of products out.

Grateful for the amazing people we have here at th Grateful for the amazing people we have here at the Locks Edge. They got me a set of these beautiful director’s chairs with my logo on them for Xmas (I guess no one showing with us was impressed with my $10 chairs from Target 😂). I’m so lucky to have an incredible group of kind, generous people here at the farm. ❤️

I always enjoy having a break from competition to I always enjoy having a break from competition to focus on training. Hans can get tight easily, so we’re working on consistently having a looser, more expressive trot.

Now, for a belated report on the VADA Fall Show/Re Now, for a belated report on the VADA Fall Show/Region 1 Finals in October. 

Congratulations to Lucy Tidd on a win in the GP AA championship, and top placing AA in the GP Freestyle. 

Grace Lotsikas was 6th in the Jr/YR Second Level championship on my Wachenheim—they had amazing trot work, but unfortunately Waki decided that he needed to spice things up with some piaffe and flying changes in the walk and canter tours. 🤪 Grace did a great job riding tactfully on my (as the judge commented) “talented but spicy boy”! 

Sierra Stewart’s Furst of All and I did his first Second Level tests. He got a bit overwhelmed in the coliseum on Thursday, but came back strong Friday and Saturday, with scores of 70 and 71%. 

Last but certainly not least, Jessie Ginsburg earned her first Gold Medal score at GP on her Vodermus. Incredibly proud of this team. ❤️

“If you look at any field, whether it’s in bus “If you look at any field, whether it’s in business or sports, the best of the best all have one thing in common: they are students and always learning. If you are a good student you will never truly ‘lose’ a competition. One of two things will happen when that competition is over: either you’ve won or you’ve learned something, and if you’ve learned, you haven’t lost. You need to always have that mindset because success tends not to be a great teacher. Failure is a much better teacher. Accepting and utilizing that is a quality of a good student.” - Ian Millar

Little Milja was a rock star for her first field t Little Milja was a rock star for her first field trip! Huge thank you to Cassidy Hageman for giving her such a confidence-building experience—it’s so important for the youngsters. Really excited about this little mare, and can’t wait to get her in the show ring next year.
