TESTIMONIALS

"I rode horses as a child, and then started riding again when my daughter Elena was eight. We both have been learning from Melanie since then. My experience with horses from childhood and now is like night and day. With Melanie we learned to form a deep connection with horses, to communicate with them the way they communicate with each other. Melanie has a profound respect, love and knowledge of horses and her students learn to make that their priority too. If you love horses, she is an excellent teacher to learn from in a safe and positive environments. -Tina Riesterer"
