Lessons
Personal, Practical, and Proven Training for Every Rider
Krebsbach Performance Horses offers private and group lessons for all skill levels at our New Prague, Minnesota facility.
Ken has years of experience teaching and evaluating riders, and he loves sharing his knowledge as both an instructor and a world-class competitor.
His instructions are easy to understand, direct, and to the point. Riders say they walk away with more confidence, clearer communication, and immediate results.
“He’s really good at watching someone ride and seeing what’s causing their problem.”
How Lessons Work
Lessons can vary in length and are tailored to both horse and rider. Ken starts each session with an evaluation to see what you and your horse need most. From there, he builds a plan focused on confidence, control, and progress — whether you’re riding for fun or preparing for competition.
He points out small adjustments that make a big difference, like leg and hand position, timing, and seat balance.
Private lessons are most common, but small groups of riders can book together and receive a discount.
“He loves when the light bulb comes on and riders say, ‘That’s what I was doing wrong!’”
What You’ll Learn
Every lesson focuses on better communication between horse and rider. Depending on your goals, Ken can help with:
- Basic horsemanship and body position
- Working the flag exercises
- Team penning and ranch sorting techniques
- Building confidence for green horses and riders
- Problem solving and refining performance
- Advanced techniques for competitive riders
- Evaluating your tack and equipment
Where You’ll Ride
Lessons take place in our indoor heated arena, part of our Boarding Facility in New Prague. It offers a safe, comfortable space to learn year-round. The arena has great footing and lighting so riders can focus on learning instead of the weather.
You can also work your horse on the mechanical flag, which is a fantastic tool for practicing rollbacks, timing, and cattle work simulations. It allows Ken to help riders correct issues consistently and safely.
Remote Lessons
Ken also offers remote lessons for riders who can’t haul in. If you have access to an arena or indoor facility, Ken can travel to you for a scheduled day of lessons. Riders often team up to share travel costs, making it a practical and affordable option for high-quality coaching.
Horses and Equipment
Riders use their own horses. Ken checks tack fit, bits, and other equipment to make sure everything works comfortably for both horse and rider.
Riders of Every Level
Ken has taught riders from age seven to over seventy. His clients range from weekend hobby riders to competitors who dominate at local and national events.
No matter your experience, he considers it a privilege to be part of your progress and success.
“Whether you ride at events or as a hobby, lessons are a great way to build your confidence.”
