Roz is the instructor for you if you have a keen desire to develop a long term partnership with your horse and a solid understanding of the technical foundations of our sport.
Instruction begins by developing a solid, correct and effective seat followed by an understanding of the application of effective aids through correct timing and feel with the horse and then the creation of a gymnasticly balanced, comfortable and confident horse regardless of their discipline.
Much attention is given to students truly understanding the behavior and physiology of their horse.
Lessons with Roz are both fun and informative!

Roz Moskovits has been a Riding Instructor for over two decades.
While still a student at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College, Roz was kindly encouraged by Al McNutt director of the Equine Unit and her instructor at the time, to teach the afternoon beginner lessons.
This led to an interest in attaining her certification as a Canadian Equestrian Federation Coach. Before challenging the coaching exam Roz gained valuable training and competition experience as a working student with the International Jumper Rider, John Kersley, and then returned to the NSAC to attend the coaching preparatory course with Mary Lew Murray.
In May of 1986 Roz successfully completed the CEF Coaching Exam at Linden Farms in PEI. During her time employed at the NSAC, Roz became very involved in the Therapeutic Riding Program and completed her certification as a Canadian Therapeutic Riding Instructor in June of 1991.
