Amazing riding experience. My friend and I used our Groupons together for a 2-hour lesson. Colleen…read moreshowed us how to get our horses prepped and saddled. She is one of the best horse people I've ever come across. She was super fun, knowledgeable and not at all snobby about things we didn't know. The lesson consisted of an hour of training off the horse and then an hour to practice basic riding. We wanted to trot a little bit, but ran out of time and Colleen didn't want to go too fast and risk either of us getting hurt. It was definitely a good move sales-wise, because now both of us really want to come back and continue lessons. It's a bit of a drive, but I'm sure we'll return and recommend it to others!

Parsley ("her" horse) is all she talks about to anyone who will listen. With her being the youngest of 6 children I would never drive 30 minutes twice a week if this didn't change her world. Schoolwork and chores at home are finished at record speed so she can keep her riding privileges. Our shy little girl is becoming more extroverted and confident the more time she spends with her horse and Kristina. You cannot go wrong with this instructor, she will positively impact your child in more ways than you can imagine! We love you Kristina and Parsley!!
