“I’ve had and continue to have an incredible experience learning from Renée. I drive from out of state for lessons as her expertiseand genuine love for horses make every lesson both educational and enjoyable. Her experience is shown in her calm, encouraging approach and deep understanding of people, horsesand how to communicate with them, making each lesson feel like an adventure. As a teacher myself, Renée’s style of teaching can be easily received by people of all ages and skill levels. I started lessons in 2022 and she has helped me become a more confident and capable rider; I highly recommend Renée as a trainer!"

"After a traumatic mounting accident resulting in a fracture, I started having panic attacks at the mounting block. I almost had to give up my lifelong passion of riding due to the debilitating anxiety.
I sought out Renee because of her success working with humans and horses with past trauma.
It's nothing short of a miracle how far I have come under her guidance. Renee continues to be an integral part of my riding progression and I have my confidence back and am enjoying riding again!"

“I am so blessed that I was introduced to Renee as my riding coach. Being super enthusiastic about becoming a trainer and working with horses for a living, I was so fresh and in a very impressionable stage of my learning when I first met her. I was a clean slate and the first lesson I had with Renee, I knew I was with someone who really cares about the influence she has on her students and the horses they partner with. She takes great pride in it. In the beginning, She took her time with me to establish the principles of great horsemanship both in and out of the saddle, has guided me through bringing along my own two horses, and over the years after working with her, there’s not been a situation where I felt like I didn’t have the tools to handle whatever came my way with the horses I’ve worked with, while also never compromising my integrity to myself or to the horse. What really stood out to me when I first met her and what I knew meant the most to me in my journey of horsemanship was finding a coach that always puts the horse first and she exemplifies that. I was a clean slate but also a messy one, and Renee has great skills and professionalism of meeting you where you are that day, or where your horse is. I’ve taken many private lessons with her and she doesn’t just instruct your riding, you always leave with life skills and feeling better and more confident when you leave, which is something horsemanship can so beautifully offer but not every instructor knows how to present to their students. Renee is gifted in that way, as well as her communication skills, being able to explain things in a very concise way. I’ve also been in lesson groups of all different riding skills , fitness levels, riding goals, and she never misses a beat, offering exactly what that horse and rider need on that day. She’s got great intuition and feel, as well as a great eye for not just the rider, but for the horse and rider moving together as one. Shes the total package and she brings harmony wherever she goes, I’m forever grateful for her mentorship.”
