Welcome!  My name is Samantha Shipman, and I teach and train out of Covered M Arena in nearby Shawnee, Kansas.  I teach ages 8 and up, specializing in beginning  and intermediate hunt seat and western.

  This is an educational program and my goal is to provide kids and adults alike with progression in a fun, relaxing, and safe environment!  The lesson program does not focus on showing, but rather on teaching people to ride to the best of their ability for their own fufillment and enjoyment.  We hold periodic knowledge clinics as well as summer camps for the kids, always trying to keep them learning about horses, along with how to ride them.
