Dear Andrea,
I just want to thank you so much for offering children and families
....the opportunity to take riding lessons. My niece is
Sarah and I have noticed a totally different kid since she has been
offered this chance. She was visiting me for the Christmas break and
all she could talk about was "Marley" this and Marley that. At one time
I had to tell her to take a break and lets talk about something other
than horses!! Just kidding. Its great to see such passion and
excitement in her voice when she talks about Arbordale!!. ...I
want to thank you so much for giving Sarah the opportunity to learn
more than riding lessons. The valuable lessons of commitment, structure, work ethic, building friendships, working as a team and on and on. Her world has opened up and she is finding her own way and interests (HORSES)!!
Friendliest barn that I've ever kept my horses at. Horses are well cared for and barn manager goes out of her way to make everyone happy.
Andrea,
Thank you so much for making the extra effort with Jocelyn. We admire how dedicated you are to making other little girls' dreams come true! Not everyone has a heart as big as yours and we can only hope that one day Jocelyn grows to have your passion and dedication. We think that you are GREAT!!

You are the BEST! Thank you so much for everything you did this week. I had a great time at this camp so far, and hopefully when I get my cast off I can do lessons (hopefully)! This week was AMAZING! I even learned how to put a bridle on and clean the hooves with only one hand! You are a great trainer!

OMG! These poor rescues look abused! Haha OMG - Seriously - the horses look fabulous and YOU'RE A WONDERFUL INSTRUCTOR. I love how you relate to your little equestrians so they understand what you're asking them to do. Very lucky horses and students INDEED! Two thumbs up!
