Head To Tail Riding School

I thought I was a pretty good rider---UNTIL I moved my horse to Cielo Tierra and started training with Sheryl. I now have a total communication with my horse, am a better rider and can even compete with ladies half my age -- and win! Sheryl understands the bond and subtle communication between horse and human and teaches riders and horses. She is compassionate, caring and dedicated to her craft. As a newcomer about a year ago, Sheryl was warm, receptive and attentive to any concerns or needs I had for my horse's care and feeding. She is an intuitive, insightful and highly proficient trainer. Cielo Tierra, as a boarding facility is the best in Oro Valley in my opinion (and I have boarded at all of them). Sure, there are some upgrades and repairs necessary to the structures - but nothing that endangers the horses or detracts from the excellent care shown to every horse. My horse, Chester, and I will retire at Cielo Tierra with Sheryl keeping me in the saddle in my old age!

The trails just outside of this barn are beautiful and worth seeing. All schooling horses are well broke and easy enough to ride for a beginner. Sheryl also works with the U of A riding team and has a 4H group that is perfect for kids looking to show.
