Angie Hughes School of Horsemanship at SilkRoseRanch

"Angie has the unique gift to look inside the horse and rider to give a direction that leads to success. That's just what she did; she saw I was the issue, not Louie. She's teaching me to relax and trust Louie, not micro-manage him, and in turn, he relaxes, and now he trusts me. It's a Win-Win situation. Louie is becoming the calm, fearless little Morgan on the trail. Thank you, Angie, for seeing the best in Louie and me."-Judy and Louie.

"Great positive feedback and suggestions on how to bring yourself and your horse further along in the horsemanship journey."-Carol

"Angie is a very gifted teacher, riding instructor, and coach. She is such an asset to the horse industry in so many ways. I believe wholeheartedly that God has given her a gift with horses and with people. She truly respects and strives to understand without judgment the horses and the people who love them. She helps them grow together in their partnership as a horse & rider team. She is so generous with her time and talents and very gracious to both horses and the people who love them and desire to have a relationship with them. I am beyond grateful to have found her! I have her training materials, had her out for lessons, and everything is encouraging both in word and person. I have learned so much, and I feel very blessed to have met her! So thankful that I get to sit under her teaching and guidance and call her friend."-Ninya

"What makes Angie unique is an almost magical ability to read the horse's mind and body in the context of the rider's performance. She then effectively translates this analysis into simple corrective exercises or steps to transform the horse into a happy, cooperative dancing partner."-Lin.

"I am grateful for all the coaching you have given Jaxon and me. I am fortunate to have found you as a coach." - Kristie.

"Thank you so much for the lesson with my Willow! The difference was exceptional!"-Pamela.

"I help riders gain confidence to ride and train horses without gimmicky shortcuts. Using effective riding & training techniques, I teach self-awareness through thoughtful refinement from the ground up to develop balanced riders and willing horses. I support riders as they train horses AND give riders the framework to help them be successful with their horses."
