Take your horseback riding to the next level
Meet our trainers
Janeen Smith and Colin Daly work closely with all riders and horses, often team teaching. They have more than 30 years of combined experience, with many riders competing, reaching Medal Finals, being long-listed for the US Team, and even going on to become successful coaches themselves.
It is our goal that riders have an empowered and positive relationship with their mounts in all phases of their interactions.
Our commitment is to teach our riders not only how to ride, but how to train their horse; to problem solve and understand training systems well enough be effective, and most importantly to understand how riding position and equipment can influence the horse in creating a lasting partnership.

“Colin and Janeen keep the traditional American hunt seat riding style alive. I've been a part of their barn since the very beginning and I cannot say enough great things about them.
They have helped me accomplish so many of my dreams and they have also taught me so much, in and out of the saddle.
Whether you are just starting out, looking to pursue a different barn, or ready to get back into the saddle, please consider contacting Colin Daly or Janeen Smith at Oasis Farms. You won't regret it!.”
