About

My service stands out because of the quality of my instruction, my extensive education and experience. I have been working with beginners through very advanced stage riders. I am trained to 4th level in dressage competed in the open jumper division. My students have competed from beginner to advanced equitation since 1972. We have qualified for finals in the middle of Maclay and Mini Medal Maclay. I have extensive experience training young horses, problem horses with bad habits and can also find you the horse that best suits you, I make the combination work. I do not have a template for my teaching, I treat each individual student according to their needs strengths and weaknesses. I have always had an ability to read a rider and a horse that came before my Bachelors Degree in Psychology. I can truthfully say I've had a hundred percent success rate all these years, I am creative and analytical which enhances my ability to teach.

I happen to love riding it sounds very simple.however I have trained very hard over the years and loved every second of it every drop of sweat. I have worked with George Morris, and Gunner Ostergaard oh, and most importantly of all I have ridden more horses than I can count. What I enjoy is to watch the progress and enthusiasm increase as my students learn the reasons and the why and are able to handle the horse in confidence and pleasure. Competitors who work hard are a joy to see as they accomplish their goals.

    Sally is the reason I started horseback riding lessons over 6 years ago and I have been with her ever since. She is an AMAZING trainer. She always pushes me every lesson and by the end of the lesson I always feel good on what I have accomplished in that lesson. Overall she is a great trainer and can work well with anyone!

    Frequently asked questions

    I check for experience, discuss any concerns or questions and give them an overall explanation of how we will begin and the purposes involved in the plan, explaining what we are going to try and accomplish. I also think it's very important to familiarize the client with the horses behavior and personality so that it is not just a riding experience but a total holistic experience with the bonding of the horse included.

    I have been a training horses and Riders extensively for over 40 years. I rode with the captain of the US Olympic team George Morris and danish gold medalist Gunnar ostergaard in dressage. I have manage multiple facilities on Long Island and have students who have gone on from advanced equitation to teach and run facilities of Their Own . In addition I have a bachelor's degree in psychology.
