"When we first started lessons about a year ago, Rose (5) was just learning how to ride a pony without a lead rope and Will (3) had to be coaxed just to sit on a pony without clinging desperately to my arm. Within a few weeks they'd already made huge strides. Elissa had taught Rose how to guide Sackett, their sweet-tempered pony, around a simple course and Will not only didn't need me right at his side, he begged to get to hold the reins himself. Over the course of the past year, the kids have made steady improvements in riding as well as developed better posture, confidence, and love of animals. 

 

Elissa is a wonderful teacher and does an excellent job steadily working toward goals with each of the kids while making the lessons a highlight of their week"
