Brandi

Brandi loves to teach beginner lessons, especially with her best friend Ava!  She also helps our Show Team riders improve their strength and balance with lunge lessons.

Ava is one of the first horses our new students ride when they begin riding lessons.  Ava takes smooth, quick steps which helps new riders learn to post at the trot.

Elmo is the cutest little white pony you have ever seen!  Our tiny tot students love Elmo because he is just their size, and as sweet as he is adorable!

Lira is a beautiful Arabian mare.  She loves to teach riders how to canter, help our Riding Program and Academy Team students learn to ride with quiet hands, and her very favorite - Tiny Tot Lessons!

Prince is our resident “Frackney” (He is half Friesian, half Hackney) .  He looks just like a Friesian, but little!  Prince loves teaching riding lessons, but his true passion is driving!
