Nathalie is a graduate from The French Equestrian School and specializes in teaching children. She trained future French instructors to teach and coach young riders. She is an expert in the "art of teaching" called PEDAGOGY.

Nathalie has developed her own successful program that provides personalized skill evaluation, progress monitoring, and subsequent program refinement.

About the program

Seminars and clinics are held either at Nathalie's ranch in Petaluma, CA or the client's location depending on their needs. A variety of programs are offered in order to fit individual needs and time frames; from phone consultation for specific problems, coaching and consultations during the show season, to a 12 week form course which includes lesson plans, uniform guidelines and graduation certificates.

Naty's program also is designed to assist instructors. For example, Nathalie worked with one instructor to improve her canter lesson techniques.

Customized Clinics

Nathalie conducts clinics that are customized towards the individual needs of her students. She begins with a one-on-one consultation and planning session, followed by customized instruction. Nathalie can teach at all levels, from the beginning rider to upper level riders competing in dressage and hunter-jumper.

Nathalie, a graduate in sports psychology, also offers a "coaching" program which focuses on teaching teachers on how to coach and teach kids. This program teaches the teacher how to coach your children in special events; as well as how to guide children and show them how to use the knowledge
they have to compete with confidence. The program emphasis is on showing
kids how to deal with the stress of competition and how to handle their
mood swings and keep up their morale.

Clinics and Seminars

Nathalie offers seminars to people interested in teaching group or individual lessons to kids. Professional trainers, advanced students or parents will benefit from Nathalie's clinics which are customized to your individual goals and needs. These clinics and seminars teach how to transmit your passion to others with safety, fun and technical skills.
