Testimonials

"While I don't get to ride as often as I would like, MJ makes every session memorable. She's a fantastic teacher with lots of wisdom and tricks that can help within the same day. She is caring and I love working with her whenever I'm able to!"

"MJ is truly a great person as well as a wonderful trainer. I have always ridden Western, but hadn't ridden in years. It has been very interesting to see how different English riding is from Western riding. MJ has been so patient with me. I am 66 years old and am very encouraged with her training."

"MJ is one of the most knowledgeable trainers I have worked with. She has such compassion for the horses and it shows in how she cares for her personal ones. I have learned so much from her and have had countless "AHA" moments where things finally clicked in my brain and body. My pony who couldn't be fly sprayed, couldn't touch his back feet, and was scared of the water hose is now a changed little man after spending a month with her. I couldn't be more thankful to have MJ in my life."

"I am grateful for having met MJ, who has helped me and motivated me to explore my relationship with my horses more deeply. Her lifelong passion, commitment and dedication towards horses shines through and into her teachings on all levels and disciplines of horsemanship."

"MJ is not only a true master of classical dressage, she is also a kind and patient teacher who meets the student and the horse where they are. I have progressed faster in my riding than with any other instructor. Also, she has wonderful lesson horses for any level rider.  She's rare around these parts."

"I love MJ. She took my riding and knowledge of horses to a whole new level. Not only did she help teach me how to properly take care of my horses, barn and tack; she taught me how to work hard in order to achieve and reach goals, was a good friend and mentor, and is an excellent example of a strong woman. She stood by me and encouraged me at my lowest point in my riding career. She has a fierce love for these amazing creatures and expresses her passion for them in her lessons."
