Update for 2023: Heart of Riding is going strong, thanks to my fabulous students and horses!

My schedule at my Frederick location, Topline Equestrian Center, is so full I can't accept any new students who don't already have their own horse.

I may be able to fit in new students who have their own horse at a barn between Frederick and Annapolis, depending on schedule.

Trailer-ins are also welcome at both my Frederick and Highland locations.

My Highland location is also too full to accept new students who need a school horse...
HOWEVER: I may be able to make an exception for just the right person -
