Hunter- Jumper Training and Lessons
At Half Halt
Stables in central Florida we pride ourselves on being a
professional horse training facility and in this spirit we are proud
to announce the additional services that hunter jumper trainer
Liz Kanan brings to our team. Liz Kanan, a remarkably open and positive
trainer, is an equestrian with over 25 years of training, working
and managing in hunter/jumper and equine sports. She has
her
master’s degree in Exercise Physiology and Wellness management and
was the Director of Grand Cypress Equestrian Center at the Grand
Cypress resort for over 17 years. As Director, she worked with and
hosted many different types of equestrian events, including
recognized dressage shows, combined training events, hunter/jumper
shows and clinics. She is both professionally and temperamentally
suited to train many different disciplines and help hunter jumpers
to achieve their goals. In all horse riding disciplines the quality
of instruction can make a huge difference in bringing out the best
in a rider, be it dressage or hunter jumper, and Liz Kanan has a
proven she loves teaching young riders, helping other riders to
improve and has helped many students to start their riding careers.
The United States Hunter Jumper Association (USHJA) says in its 2007
USHJA Owners Resource Guide, Selecting a trainer is quite possibly
the most important decision you will make.
At Half Halt
Stables our main focus is on dressage and Susanne Benne leads this
team, but the second part of any good dressage education is
jumping. And with Susanne and her team a hunter jumper can learn
the flat work (dressage) that is the basis of developing the
strength and technique to help the horse be a better jumper. At the
top of the hunter jumper world the best riders work hard on their
dressage, so their horses have better technique and strength to do
the more demanding jumps. Even though dressage helps, the hunter
jumper sport is also a discipline all its own, and for this reason
we have teamed with Liz to bring her hunter jumper experience to our
facility.
Liz Kanan has a gentle but commanding way for the young
riders to learn and all of her students are thrilled with the
lessons she gives. In addition our parents are impressed with the
progress their children show when instructed by Liz and her concern
for the safety of all the riders. As a veteran of the show circuit
Liz can often be seen at hunter jumper shows coaching, encouraging,
and helping these young horse riders to learn and achieve their
goals. When Liz teaches a young rider the proper way to sit, to
command the horse, to ride; this is a skill the child can keep for a
lifetime and use in many different types of riding, not just hunter
jumper or dressage. If you want your child to learn the proper way
to ride or just to have your child taught in a friendly,
professional manner by a warm and caring trainer, then Liz Kanan is
the instructor for you and can help your child to achieve their
goals or just have fun in a warm, safe and children friendly
environment.
