Melissa is a kind, generous, well experienced and knowledgeable in caring for horses and teaching horseback riding. Our daughter started lessons when she was 6 and wanted all things horses. Melissa gently introduced her to her "boys" and my daughter was able to learn and grow in her knowledge and love of horses.

My friends and I were in the neighborhood and wanted so badly to just pet a horse. Melissa invited us to come see Levi and Oliver - and not only pet them, but feed them; and taught us how to interact with them.

Seriously one of the best sessions I have ever had! Michelle’s knowledge and kindess is something to definitely write about so I am! I got to ride and get to know Levi, my horse and what a horse he truly is. The establishment takes you away from town and puts you straight in the country!

★★★★★ Ashliegh, Sep 2018

You can't beat the scenery and peaceful vibes Melissa and her horses, Levi and Oliver, have to offer. This has become my therapy to come groom the horses and learn how to interact with them. Melissa has such a graceful way of teaching. She has so much more to offer than just horsemanship.
