I’ve been riding with Mary for a few months as an adult beginner, and she’s been an amazing trainer. From teaching me how to groom and tack a horse to helping me learn to trot and canter, Mary is patient, thorough, and really knows how to explain things. She challenges me in a safe and supportive way and is always there to coach me through any struggles.

Mary is an excellent teacher with decades of experience. While she is extremely skilled at riding, she also makes the experience feel casual and homey, instead of uptight and stuffy. She will push you to be a better rider and get you out of your comfort zone. She’s amazing and couldn’t recommend her enough!

Mary is knowledgeable and does a great job with young riders. Teaching a good seat and independent hands is a real skill and she makes it look easy.

Mary is really nice and positive. She knows how to explain and teach kids. I think she is also a really experienced rider so she really knows how to deal with horses and she will always help if you need any for example helmet or juts explaining how everything works.
