What Students Have to Say...
   

Heidi has been my instructor and trainer for the past six years now (and of course, for many years to come).  She has helped me with three very different young horses during that time.  I consider Heidi a “thinking” trainer – she doesn’t try to apply the same formula to all horses and riders, but customizes every training day based on what we need help with at that time – and it always works!  She can push me to think (and work) outside the box, and sometimes I really need that push.

As a professional, I admire her ongoing investment in her own training education (through clinics, trips to Germany, and symposiums) which is a direct benefit to me as her student.   I really appreciate her ability to teach so much of what she has learned over the years.

Having just completed the first phase of the USDF L program, I came to realize how much Heidi has improved my eye as well as my riding!  I attribute my success in the first four sessions of that program directly to her teaching.  Through the past several years, she has imparted so much knowledge about training, riding, biomechanics, gaits; it’s a bit of a surprise to reflect back on what I DIDN’T know pre-Heidi!

She is always professional and never stops teaching and helping me to reach my riding goals and improve my partnership with my horses.

Heidi is one of the best all around instructors I have ever trained with.  She is patient, hard working, organized and most of all fun.  I have brought five different horses and ponies to her for dressage and jumping lessons and no one is more gifted at picking out asymmetry issues and developing different exercises for each individual horse to strengthen any weaknesses.  Every lesson has a purpose for both you and the horse and you always know safety is the number one priority.  Her barn and arenas are always immaculate and every horse on the property is given the best care possible.

I have been riding with Heidi for a little over seven years.  She has taught me so much about Dressage and Eventing.  I can always depend on her to help me if my horse or I don’t understand a certain movement or technique.  Heidi is always helping me to improve my riding and the way I school my horse.  She is very thorough and clear in her teaching so that I always know what needs to be done, how and when.  I definitely would not be where I am today without her.

Heidi is a dedicated and thorough trainer.  She is committed to constantly improving her knowledge and experience which she, in turn, uses to benefit each and every horse she trains.  She focuses on a solid foundation from which to build and thus enables each horse to reach their full potential through a consistent and logical progression in their training.  She gives her full commitment to any and all types and breeds encouraging each horse to excel to their maximum ability.
