Liz
Liz began riding horses at the age of 3 on her family's farm. It is her pleasure to use her experience in teaching and her competitive riding experience to ensure that you succeed. Above all, Liz believes that riding shouldn't be a serious business all the time, and makes sure that her students have a fun and enjoyable experience doing what they love.
Our resident Psychotherapist. Susan is a highly trained mental health professional with extensive equine experience ready to help you in your journey to wellness.
Susan has helped me manage my anxiety by giving me techniques I can do on my own and with my family. She will listen to and encourage you, celebrate your strengths, and give you unbiased responses. Thank you Susan!
