TESTIMONIALS
The May 2008 Clinic with Lisa was a big success! Each rider had the chance to focus on dressage, jumping or both. Lisa has a wonderful sense of a horse and rider combination's abilities and is able to customize exercises to benefit them.-- Rose Bowl Riders


Above all, thanks. I have always loved riding, but you have inspired for me a new passion for truly learning about it and becoming my best. --Kristi

Lisa, your clinics are wonderful! Under your tutelage, I was challenged, encouraged and left with much more confidence in what I could do. Your riding tips and suggestions certainly improved my jumping abilities and riding in general. What a great experience! Thank you!!! (RBR clinic participant 2008)
