My 15 year old mare and I started riding with Carol about 6 months ago. Over the last 30 years I have ridden in the hunters, and throughout all my years of riding, I always knew there was something missing - that there was something I wasn't "getting". I knew I didn't have the right tools in order to be competitive in the hunter ring, and I didn't know what to do next. ​
Fortunately, I was introduced to Carol, and with her unparalleled instruction, I am learning how to feel my horse underneath me; to know if I am balanced and if my horse is balanced; and I am learning how to make the necessary corrections in my riding.​
Carol is an extremely effective, compassionate, positive and GIFTED instructor, and if there is something I don't understand, she quickly finds another way to communicate with me until I get it.​
Carol genuinely enjoyed teaching. Her lessons are fun and rewarding, and my horse is so much happier! Many times during my lesson I find myself almost giddy - so delighted to be learning and finally feeling how it is supposed to feel when one rides correctly!​
I am so grateful for Carol's encouragement and support, for her commitment to teaching, and for creating a space where I feel hopeful again.
