"I searched for almost four years to find the perfect trainer in my area, and finally found everything I was looking for in Laura. I desired someone that had solid training methods paired with compassion for the horse, a talent for explaining things to the rider, and a sense of humor.
She is extremely talented in her riding and training approaches, and does everything with a smile. She makes advancing through the levels appear attainable, with a consistent, realistic approach and a wonderful feel for exactly how much to push each horse and rider during each session. Laura is hard-working and devoted to her horses and her students, giving them constant positive reinforcement and encouragement to reach their fullest potential. I am so grateful that I found Laura and cannot believe the difference that she has made in the way my horse goes. Thanks to Laura, my horse truly loves his job and is developing much farther than I ever dreamed he could!"

"Her corrections are methodical and her praises are plentiful. Timing is her forte. Laura develops a wonderful relationship with any horse she works with.
She builds confidence and truly makes a horse happy in its work and the best athlete it can be. Her lessons are the perfect combination of hard work, understanding and FUN. She both encourages and challenges me at all times. She is a skillful communicator, has boundless patience and the ability to read the horse and transfer that information to the rider. She stresses position, body core and working in harmony with the horse. I personally have been blessed by all her help, confidence building, and most of all her friendship. She is a true treasure."

"Laura's astute understanding of my mares unique needs has been a gift. As a trainer she implements a well-rounded program with a positive and patient approach for amazing results.
My horse is significantly more balanced and confident in her work. As an instructor, Laura helps me to understand my horse's behavior and abilities so that I am an encouraging leader for her. I feel grateful for Laura's expertise in guiding us to be the best team we can be!

"Laura is that truly rare and precious trainer: she is as sensitive as she is skilled. Laura worked wonders with my young, opinionated, Thoroughbred.
She was able to motivate and energize a horse who has no natural work ethic. Laura’s six months of patient, consistent, caring training have yielded years of rewarding results. Her skill with horses is complemented with her ability to instruct humans. Each lesson I had with Laura ended with me knowing more about my riding and my horse and with me being able to successfully communicate that to my horse. Laura was great at building this nervous rider’s confidence with understanding, patience and solid suggestions on riding technique. I have been exposed to numerous trainers and instructors in my over 40 years of riding, Laura stands out as one of the best."
