About Nicole

While we are named the Youth Equestrian Collective, we accommodate all ages in our lesson program!

My program is first and foremost, a fundamental horsemanship program. I take the green riders and turn them into strong confident equestrians. Building the individual through equine interaction is paramount to success! We also can instruct at the highest level for showing purposes. Once the rider has learned basic fundamentals, we pursue any goals you may have.

This program accommodates all ages from the very young to pretty much no age limit. We have wonderful lesson horses that are very dependable and can compete.

I also take trail riders very seriously as they have unpredictable environments. They actually represent one of the greatest percentages of students and we really work on core fundamentals of riding, control and confidence.

Hundreds of riders have passed through my program both in Kentucky and now Colorado gaining confidence to go out into the world of horses. Trainer/Instructor with 19 World Champion horses and riders since 1990. As a team we participate in all breed shows locally and travel to Utah, Kentucky, and Tennessee for upper level breed shows. We are a family oriented facility!

There is an art to teaching and making students feel confident in their learning. I enjoy seeing progress and skill improve and the pride a student has in the art of the process. Many of our adults have dreamed of riding horses their whole life, but never had the opportunity. We help them realize it's never too late to enjoy horses.

If you live horses, you will love our program!

I discovered my love for teaching in college in the late 80s. I attended Morehead State University Equestrian Program. In 1989, I began a lesson program in Morehead, Kentucky and taught there 23 years. We yeiled 17 World Championships. In 2011, I moved to Colorado and have been located at Clear Springs Ranch since then. So far 2 World Championships have come from Colorado riders! Bringing the total to 19!

in 2006, I was hired to be the breed representative as TWHBEA National Clinician. Teaching full time was amazing.

teaching has been a career since....

International clinician in the USA and 4 foreign countries

Licensed trainer for 30 years with 18 World titles to date earned with both horses and riders..

Co-Owner of the WALK N STYLE LLC saddle company and speaker for all company events in the USA

Created the academy program and instructor certification program for the Tennessee Walking Horse breed until 2013 when I and my business partner created a new one in the Walk N Style Company. Named Walk N Style Academy

BS Degree from Morehead State University in Animal Science

Professional Instructor from r 34 years

About the lesson

The first lesson is an introduction to the horse and how to become at ease working around him and with him. I first have the student learn to groom, lead and tack up a horse. From the ground a great level of comfort is gained by both student and horse as they get to know each other. From there the student learns to tack up the horse and lead, turn and mount the horse.

Riding includes rider exercises, learning to hold the reins and sit properly, steer the horse, turn and stop.. The student will then dismount, lead, untack and groom the horse and to put away.

As the student returns for each lesson, the grooming process gets more efficient and the riding segment grows. Students are developed on an individual basis with private and groups of no more than 3 riders. The goal is to build confidence and skill with each lesson. There is no limit to the level of advancement possible through our program.

Young students from 4-6 basics and beginning balance and confidence

Youth riders starting as 6 year olds that are strong and mentally ready will be taught increased skill and develop ability to a high degree

Adult riders of any age and experience level. Some students come with experience, some with fear, and others who have waited their whole life to learn to ride.

I enjoy each and every type!

Credentials speak

take a lesson to see if you enjoy the environment

you should be taught in an organized safe method so that you learn correctly and in a safe manner

One of my young riders at age 12 is learning to canter. She has overcome fear, learned balance and adapted to faster speeds to be able to achieve the canter. In her last lesson she finally overcame her fear and doubt and cantered most of the lesson

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Safety First, after that, while learning begins questions will emerge

Nicole Tolle has been nothing short of a game-changer in my daughter’s riding journey. In just 1.5 years, she’s learned more from Nicole than in six years with other trainers. Nicole’s knowledge of horsemanship, horse behavior, and the nuances between disciplines is truly impressive, and she shares that knowledge with her students in an encouraging and empowering way. What sets Nicole apart is not just her skill, but her unwavering commitment to both horse and rider. Nicole didn’t give up on our “problem” pony when others did - instead, she turned him into the perfect partner, building both my daughter’s skill and confidence up. I cannot recommend Nicole Tolle highly enough for riders of all ages and skill levels. If you're ready to truly learn and grow, Nicole will take you further than you ever thought possible.

Nicole is extremely professional and has been great with my 4yo daughter. In a world where “everyone is a trainer” it was very important to me to find someone with actual credentials and experience to teach my daughter the ropes to riding correctly emphasizing on safety. Would recommend for all ages and all disciplines as Nicole has done it all!

Nicole is absolutely incredible! From day one, she had my daughter doing everything from grooming and saddling the horse to riding. She is highly knowledgeable and has helped guide us through every step of the riding and showing process. Nicole has instructed my daughter in English and Western styles and has trained numerous champions throughout her career. We are incredibly fortunate to have found Nicole and recommend her to anyone interested in beginning riding or who would like to enhance their riding skills.
