My daughter began Lessons with Lisa nearly 2 years ago when she was 9 years old.  At the time, we were looking at horseback riding lessons, not only for the sake of learning a skill and because my daughter loved horses and had been begging to ride for years, but we were also looking for an activity to build confidence and success in a child that was due for a little more of both.

Having ridden for many years myself and knowing the needs of my daughter, I had a good idea of what I was looking for in an instructor and until I met Lisa, I had not found it. Lisa balances her expansive knowledge and clear instruction with equal amounts of patience and kindness.  She cares as much about the rider as she does about the horse and it shows.  She uses her experience to expose her students to not only riding technique but also, horse care and knowledge which is imperative for any equestrian.

In these two short years, I can say that all of our original objectives have been met and continue to be met each week.  My daughter has found great success in something she loves to do.   Lessons with Lisa has been a Godsend in her life. Horseback riding is an activity whose reach goes far beyond just the physical motions involved. It has brought the happiness and success my daughter needs and deserves. And I can say with full confidence that any other rider can expect to achieve the similar results with Lisa as their teacher.
