Beth is organized and develops a realistic plan for you and your horse, according to you and your horse's needs, abilities and personalities. In the process, you and your horse will establish a lasting trust and friendship in each other. I have nothing but great things to say about Bethany!”

“Bethany is a very professional and talented teacher who truly enjoys her work. She teaches not only technique, but also the theory behind the movement and horse psychology. It's a real joy to ride under her tutelage. My riding has improved a lot and I always leave class feeling energized and refreshed. Her horse Penny is my favorite!”

“I have been training with Bethany for many years. She has worked with me on everything from equitation to eventing, and gave me the knowledge and confidence as a rider and trainer to seek a resident student program on the East coast, where I currently start three year olds and work with other "made" horses. …Her best skill would be teaching riders how to not just be passengers but to train their own horses every time they work with them, so that practice is not just to keep the rider at the level they are at, but constantly improve themselves and their mount.”

“Beth is a very talented and knowledgeable rider, teacher and trainer. Her riding is lovely and she has taught my two girls beautiful equitation as well. The girls and horses have been working with Beth for about two years and she is always kind and patient with all of them. When training the horses Beth thinks about the whole horse, both the physical and the mental aspects needed for a safe and willing animal. I am very pleased with the progress both the children and horses have made.”
