About

     Our general philosophy on riding is that the rider has the honor of being the voice of the horse.  The rider’s main job in the partnership is to be the leader around a winning course.  More often than not, it becomes complicated due to the miscommunication between horse and rider.  This miscommunication often begins from a lack of the rider and horse to be able to find and maintain their balance around a course.  When one understands the mechanics of riding, the dance with the horse becomes harmonious. This dance is the beauty of floating down to a 5’9 oxer, flying over it, and cantering away with a smile.  We as horse people should never forget that every time we are in contact with a horse, we make a choice to educate or un-educate the horse.

     To take talented horses and riders and educate them in a system that improves their success by simply following a consistent system that is healthy for the horse’s body and mental happiness. The riding system Trans-Atlantic has embraced and teaches is one, which enables the rider’s understanding of how to mold and control the movements of the horse by his or her balance and body aids.  It’s of importance to Charlotte that when anyone purchases a horse from Trans-Atlantic, that they can easily manage their future success.  Charlotte’s grandfather always said, “Better to choose quality over quantity.”  This is our business acumen.  The point of Charlotte’s training system is to enable clients to not only reach their goals but exceed them.  Her business ethics insist that she supply both positive and constructive feedback about the horses that the clients currently own and/or they are considering as future investments.
