"In my youth I witnessed and endured the demoralization of students to get a point across. Many of the riding Instructors in my past had a positive impact on me, but the few who sent me home crying have blessed me with the vision for my riding program. I wanted to create a place where students of all ages could gather and learn all that horses have to offer them without such restrictive boundaries and expectations. Being a mother of four beautiful daughters has only confirmed that this place,"The Barn", is the best place in the world to teach ourselves and our children compassion,responsibility, work ethic, loyalty and everything in between!
