Testimonials

"I had a private session with Becky and Brooke on the riding simulator. It was a great experience. I learned how my riding position effects my balance. Then learned how to fix some of these areas to improve my balance. I got tips for pre riding stretching and how to deal with the "what if" thoughts before riding. Overall learning to control myself  better so I can ride better. The simulator showed me how I ride and Becky and brooke talked me through how to fix some issues and improve my seat! I got to feel what I should be doing with my body when I ride and what happens when I tense up! Very positive experience and worth it! I feel like this session has boosted my confidence more and helped my understanding of body movement in the saddle. Can't wait to test out all the things I learned and see a difference in my riding this season! What you said about not worrying about all the what ifs since she only ever bolts has helped! I feel like I'm not overwhelmed with worry now! And since I kind of know what would make her bolt even that worry is less. Never really considered i was worrying about stuff she has never done until you mentioned it!" Jessica H. Illinois

"I learned a lot from my lesson on Tiny Tina! Showed me how much I was affecting my horse and vice versa while riding. I like how you both adjusted and corrected my posture and I can really feel the difference. I love the way Becky and Brooke explain things it just makes perfect sense to me.  You guys rock!" Sam W. Illinois

"To be honest, it took me a couple days of processing once I was home to even feel like I could talk about everything that happened at your lovely farm. It was overwhelming in so many positive ways. Sharing with folks brings me right back to the aisle in your barn, breathing, and releasing. As I rode each day this past weekend, I reminded myself to breathe, expanding my ribcage, and focusing on my shoulder. 

My afternoon with you and Brooke (and Tiny Tina) was truly a life changing experience for me.  Thank you for doing what you do, and for reaching out to me. I am excited to have you in my mentoring circle and looking forward to future adventures!" Kristine, Michigan
 

"I had a very nice ride this evening... I figured out the walk, best collected and free walk ever! We struggled with that a lot. The canter I probably did too much, but I sort of fluttered my femurs with the motion and stopped the motion for the transition. I can't wait to come back!" Christina, Northern Illinois

 

Thank you Becky and Brooke! I have been riding for 25 years and in one session you have helped me understand how to better influence my horse through proper use of my seat, carriage of upper body, and the importance of breathing and relaxation in order to follow the movement properly. Thank you! Look forward to working with you again!’ - PDC
