Stevie taught at a popular children’s riding program in Great Falls, Blacks Hill Stables, where she discovered her passion for teaching. She found it incredibly rewarding to watch her students grow and develop into confident, capable riders. Over the years, she saw many students progress from complete beginners to showing successfully and winning their first blue ribbons.
Stevie has had many wonderful opportunities to work with well-known trainers and frequently has several project horses of her own to work with. In addition to producing several horses and ponies, Stevie was very fortunate to ride with the late John Fitzgearld towards the end of her college years. Stevie credits John with the majority of her advanced knowledge, both with riding ability and instruction. His patient style and clear, effective teaching left a lasting impression, one that Stevie strives to reflect in her own approach to coaching.
Stevie has always advocated for continuing education. She regularly takes lessons with Sue Buscher of Timely Manor, to improve her skills and develop her newest project, Red Hot Ten. Stevie believes everyone, no matter their skill, benefits from regular lessons.
Stevie wants students to desire knowledge - both of riding and horsemanship. She believes a rider devoted to learning not only improves faster, but becomes a better horseman because of it.
