Hi! I'm Michelle Binder and I am happy to welcome you to Cheney Washington and the Relational Riding Academy webpage. This site is designed to introduce you to the concepts and ideas behind Relational Riding. Start your journey, fulfill on your own wish to ride, or give your child the opportunity to experience all the benefits that horse back riding provides people of all ages.

Do you have a horse crazy child? Have you dreamed of learning to ride yourself but never had the chance?
Now at Relational Riding Academy riders of any age can learn to ride and have fun doing it in one of RRAs safe, fun and educational programs.

Do you think horseback riding is too expensive?
Riding at an academy is economical. You save the horse related expenses you fear, fulfill the possibility of learning to ride, AND develop that unique, sought after relationship with a special horse. At Relational Riding Academy, we offer a complete program for horse and rider. Whether you want to ride Western, English, Dressage, you want to jump or improve your equitation, this program provides a thorough education that creates partnership between horse and rider. Our lesson horses are safe, well trained schoolmasters experienced with riders of all ages and abilities. Have FUN learning to ride in private or group lessons!

Our focus is on creating a safe, fun, learning experience in an environment where the horses, the children AND the adults thrive.

    Our beginner and intermediate students ride wonderful lesson horses and study horsemanship while developing their riding skills with RRA's outstanding assistant instructors. This combination makes it possible to take the most beginner riders of any age through an organized, progressive program of lessons that, for some, can culminate in horse ownership, horse show exoeriences, clinics, and even going to World Championships in Westgern Dressage on our World Champion horses. No matter the age of the rider, our lessons are safe, fun, and educational. Private OR group lessons are available.

    Recommendations:
    "I am so very impressed with Michelle's knowledge and style of teaching. I have worked with and seen a lot of coaches and teachers over the years, but seldom have I seen a teacher with the passion she has and the ability to get the students to visualize and perform the skills she teaches them. She is the best teacher and Vinny along with the other students are very lucky to have her as their instructor." J.S., Spokane, WA
