Don't take a single step toward this group. When I finally got out, my horse was the ONLY one still standing?with 7 others injured and sick. My horse was drugged and abused very badly and this woman kicked out of every training stable in LA and Ventura Counties. After she healed from the girth being put on her BACKWARDS and ridden into the ground while I was on leave for a spine surgery, I got my mare out of there and both of us had to UNLEARN all the poor, dangerous training administered by this trainer and then start from scratch all over by the finest of eventing trainers on the West Coast. Be smart and move on. It's SO not worth the risk. She will delightedly injure you and/ or your horse at your expense. I kid you not and am actually understating the damage of which this person is capable. Do your research and only work with the very best! read more

I have known and trained with Heather for over 15 years. She is the absolute best. I brought my horse to her to train from out of state because she was the only person I trusted with him and, as an OTTB, he needed a lot of patience and TLC. I have seen how she takes the time to get to know every horse in her care so she is able to cater to their specific health and training needs. And beyond the needs of her horses, she cares so much for her clients; from beginners who have never been on a pony before to advanced hunter/jumpers looking to join a show circuit; young children to adults. Heather will take the time to educate her students so they are comfortable in the barn environment and safe on the horse they are training with. Heather helped make the barn my home away from home. I loved spending as many afternoons, weekends, and summer days with her and the horses. read more
