Between her time at Centenary and her experience in the industry, Deanna has the skills to help you or your rider achieve your or their dreams! She has experience working with green and problem horses and the ability to see through a horse antics and see their potential. For example she has worked with ones with attitudes and spooking problems to help them become rideable by anyone and able to be used in lesson programs and at horse shows. We only use top quality feed and equipment for our horses because they deserve nothing but the best. Each and every horse at Autumn Hill is treated with the same attention to detail that is given to Deanna's private horses.
