What riders say about Rochester stables
Lita is an awesome trainer, coach, clinician and judge. We met Lita at a 4-H clinic and loved how she connected with the kids and gave them all a positive learning experience. Since the clinic, my daughter and her horse have been under her training guidance.
Red Gate Riding has had such a positive impact on my daughter's confidence/self-esteem. Our riding instructor, Katie, offers a great blend of encouragement and yet still challenges to her students. We were amazed to see how quickly Katie got our daughter to the level of horsemanship she has achieved!
The Meadows Equestrian Center LLC
This is a wonderful boarding facility, my horses settled in easily and have never looked better! They take excellent care of all of the horses and the facility, and everyone is super friendly. My horses and I are all very happy here!
