Welcome!  
 

My name is Michelle Laurie McVey and I am a free-lance instructor at Sovereign Equestrian in Lake Stevens, WA.  I offer dressage instruction for all disciplines with emphasis on functional Equitation and positive training.  Children and adults are welcome!  

Private Lessons

One on one time enables instructor to work on the specific needs of horse and rider.  Perfect for preparing for competition, working through equine behavioral issues and developing a correct and effective seat.  Recommended choice for a beginning rider.

Semi-Private Lessons

Great for children and adults who have some previous riding experience.  Good for introduction to group riding.  Economical and yet still provides sufficient instructor time and attention. 

Group Lessons

Appropriate for intermediate to advanced riders.  Perfect preparation for group riding, warm up ring and competition.  Good choice for gymnastic and arena exercises.
