Horseback Riding Lessons in Cass City, MI
Strengthening The Bond Between Horse & Rider Through Clear Communication”
Riding Lessons • Show Horse Training • PEMF Therapy
Beginner to Advanced Riding Lessons (Ages 5+)
At Lasting Impression Horsemanship in Cass City, MI, we help riders and horses build better communication through natural horsemanship. By understanding equine psychology, riders learn to guide with clear, consistent leadership — developing patience, responsibility, and attention to detail. The result is a lasting partnership built on mutual respect and trust.
Gaining a horse’s respect starts by proving you can be a leader who keeps them safe.
Horses seek safety, comfort, leadership, and responsibility — and they need to feel those things in you.
Horse Training & Competition Specialization
We offer full-service horse training with a foundation in natural horsemanship and correct biomechanics. While we welcome horses of all backgrounds, we specialize in developing calm, confident, and competition-ready show horses through consistent, long-term programs.
We do not rely on crutches such as draw reins or training forks. Instead, we teach horses how to move correctly from the ground up — building proper muscle memory, strength, and balance so they can carry a rider comfortably and correctly as they learn. This results in soft, responsive horses with healthy minds and bodies, ready to perform in the arena or succeed in everyday riding.
We specialize in:
-
Western Pleasure (WP)
-
Hunter Under Saddle (HUS)
-
Showmanship (SMS)
-
Lunge Line
Additional Horse Training Services:
-
Colt Starting — Building a quiet, respectful foundation through clear, calm communication.
-
Behavioral Correction — Addressing fear, resistance, or dangerous habits with patient, trust-based methods.
-
Long-Term Training Plans — Developing reliable show horses through consistent, progressive training and competition exposure.
We intentionally limit our program to just 3–4 horses at a time to ensure every horse receives the personalized attention, consistent care, and high-quality instruction necessary for lasting results.
Our mission is to develop safe, confident horses with strong foundations and empower riders to communicate clearly, ride with purpose, and enjoy their time with their horses safely and meaningfully — whether at home or in the show ring.
Equine BEMER Therapy
We offer professional PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy using the BEMER Horse-Set — a safe, non-invasive wellness tool that supports circulation and recovery at the cellular level. BEMER is a specialized form of PEMF that improves microcirculation, enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the body.
Benefits include reduced muscle tension, improved healing, enhanced mobility, and decreased swelling or discomfort. Most horses feel calmer and more relaxed after treatment. This therapy is ideal for horses in training, recovering from injury, or simply needing performance and wellness support.
Sessions are $35 per treatment and may be added to training packages or scheduled independently.
About The Trainer
At the heart of Lasting Impression Horsemanship is a deep belief: every horse deserves to be understood, and every rider deserves to feel safe, supported, and empowered.
With over 25 years of hands-on horse experience, Janelle has worked with a wide variety of horses — from colts to seasoned show competitors — and riders of all levels. For the past 15 years, she has studied and practiced natural horsemanship, focusing on communication, trust, and biomechanics to create soft, willing partners both on the ground and under saddle.
Before launching Lasting Impression Horsemanship in January 2023, she worked as a licensed veterinary technician for 13 years, which gave her a deep understanding of equine health, soundness, and overall wellness. During that time, she trained and cared for her own horses as a dedicated hobby, blending feel, timing, and knowledge to shape the horse-human relationship.
Her training approach always puts the humans safety first closely followed by the horse’s well-being. She treats every horse as if they were her own — and has an abundance of patience, respect, and consistency. Whether you're just getting started or preparing for the show ring, She is here to guide you and your horse through a clear, compassionate journey built on mutual respect and trust.
Trainer’s Message:
For Janelle, your success with your horse matters deeply. While she can’t do the work for you, she’s here to guide, support, and challenge you every step of the way.
Her greatest reward is watching riders grow in confidence, communicate with clarity, and form real partnerships with their horses. That’s what drives her passion — helping people and horses truly understand one another
