STORM ACADEMY
Now Taking Registrations
The Storm Academy is always taking on new clients and riders. If we happen to be at capacity, we will be sure to get you on our drop in list until a full time spot opens up in the program!
The Storm Academy is an expansion and the future of The Humblehorse Ranch! With over 25 years of experience and success behind the Storm Academy , it truly is a one-of-a-kind and Stand-alone program.
Our original Goal in Launching the Storm Academy was to take riders who were dedicated and driven to learn all concepts surrounding proper horsemanship from the ground up to advanced riding levels. We still strive to develop each student to excel to their maximum skill level and guide them on their journey to reach all their dreams and goals surrounding all aspects of horsemanship. We look forward to certifying our riders as they complete various programs and modules. The Academy continues to advance and develop new programs,. We always strive to surpass our expectations and goals set by the previous years.
Storm Academy is managed and taught by highly certified staff, with over 25 years of experience.
Becky Skuter is our head Certified Western riding coach. She has been riding since the age of 6 and has over 25 years of experience. Becky graduated Olds College, AB In 2003 with her Western coaching certification, shortly after The Humblehorse Ranch opened its doors. Becky has also traveled the world teaching western riding to Malaysia, Greece, Alabama and also worked with Cavalia in Beijing China.
All Staff- started off riding with Becky, now fully certified Storm Rider instructors!
What is Storm Academy ?
Storm Academy runs in three-month sessions at a time, so we ask for a minimum of a three-month contract at a time, but we strive for full program commitment. Each Module will take approximately 3 months to complete ( may vary with each riders skill level)
In the first year( 12 months) of Storm Academy, riders will work on getting through 4 rider modules which we are calling the Storm Rider Modules. Storm Rider Modules 1, 2, 3, 4 will roughly take 3 months each to learn and be tested on. These modules are based on Equine Canada Rider level modules 1-4, as well as over 25 years of personal experience, world travel, and competition. Essentially Storm Rider modules are Equine Canada rider level 1-4 with extra content, and require a higher caliber of skill to complete! You will become a Humblehorse Storm Rider once you have made it into the academy and passed all 4 modules ( Module testing is not mandatory)
After completion of each Storm Rider Module test, each rider will receive a Passing Certificate Signed by the Coach and Humblehorse Ranch. We would recommend you frame each certificate as it truly is quite an accomplishment.
Passing your Storm Rider modules 1-4 opens the doors to move onto our advanced and Final Certification : The Phoenix
