Testimonials
“I’ve owned and fully operated a very busy show and lesson barn since 2001. Lara joined our team to help me with my overflowing riding school. She not only molded her own lesson technique to our existing program, but enhanced it with fun new ideas. We much appreciate her being here!”

“My horse Remy and I have been taking lessons from numerous instructors over the passed ten years, but not one teacher seemed to have any faith in us as a team. I retired Remy and reconciled myself to grooming him and feeding him treats, but something was missing. I asked Lara if it was possible to bring back an older OTTB and the ball went rolling after that. She opened up my eyes to the art of Dressage. Lara has given me the confidence to get back on my horse and better communicate with him. He is fitter and happier than ever. She is simply the best coach I have ever had.”

"Lara found me my perfect second horse. With Lara’s help my new mare has made me become a better rider. Now I understand that I have to ride each horse differently because they are so different in their conformation and training; working with my [their] strengths and weaknesses. I feel so much more confident in my riding. Lara’s challenging lessons and positive attitude towards the horse are a wonderful combination. My horses are happy to work and so am I!”

“I took lessons from Lara on her excellent school-masters after recovering from major hip surgeries that had me in a wheelchair for a year. She helped me get my ‘riding legs’ back and I felt completely safe and secure with her teaching style. She always explains thoroughly the reason why she has you do something. You can tell Lara truly cares about her students and her horses.”
