A few words from our wonderful customers......  
Our daughter took lessons from Andrea for over 7 years and we absolutely love her teaching style.  As an instructor, Andrea's style of communication really helps the riders think about what they are doing, and what they need to do.  She helps the rider gain confidence and it definitely shows in the show ring! ---- Family oriented, creative and fun.  Laid back - no feelings of a stuffy show barn, but all the awards and winners to show she's up there with them.

Andrea has a great teaching style suitable for all ages.  Her barn has always been a welcoming and fun environment where I met handfuls of life-long friends.  Not only did she teach me how to ride, but she also taught me responsibility, animal husbandry, and respect.  Overall great place to grow up taking lessons at!

We loved taking lessons with Andrea!  She's a very knowledgeable instructor.  My daughter loved taking lessons with her and participating in her camps.  She is great with kids and I appreciated her focus on safety.

 I began riding with Andrea in 2005 and continued my equestrian career under her instruction until I left for college in 2014.  Andrea is one of the most dedicated individuals I have ever met and I aspire to find as much passion in my career as she has found in hers.  She taught me the fundamentals of riding that I still use today riding for the Berry College equestrian team.  Without Andrea's dedication and motivation to my riding career I would never be the rider I am today and for that I thank her tremendously.

My 8 year old daughter began riding lessons with Andrea in 2014.  At the time, I had purchased a 4-lesson package and my intention was just for my daughter to get some exercise, become acclimated to horses and to have some fun  in the great outdoors.  I knew nothing about Andrea (or horses) but my daughter instantly fell in love with her, her horses and her barn.  Andrea has a way of teaching that childrent identify with...she makes it fun for them while also teaching them the importance of doing things right, and safely, the first time.  I loved the fact that we didn't just show up for lessons and leave.  Andrea taught my daughter how to groom, tack and care for the horses, which I think is just as important as any riding technique.  My daughter's time at Andrea's barn has not only given her a solid riding foundation but has taught her some valuable life lessonsl  Andrea has since moved to a new location and my daughter continues to talk avout how much she misses her and her horses.  I highly recommend Andrea to anyone interested in learning to ride.

Andrea is the reason my daughter found a passion for riding.  Her first lesson was with Andrea in 2007 and she is still showing today.  She has a true passion for her students and teaches them not only to ride, but to also respect these wonderful animals.  We boarded our rescue Saddlebred with Andrea right when we got her and she loved her like she was her own.
