  • ×´Rachel is by far the best trainer I've worked with in my 10+ years of competitive show jumping. She takes the time to explain not only what I did wrong, but why it happened and how to fix it, which has made me a much stronger rider. I had a bad fall that tanked my confidence, and she helped me work through it and get back to riding in the same capacity I was beforehand.×´

  • ×´Rachel gave my horse and I the confidence to move up the levels with a foundation of correct flat work. She knows how to challenge you while meeting you where you are and always makes lessons fun with create exercises. I can't recommend her enough!×´

  • ×´I can't say enough good things about working with Rachel. When I first started, I was looking for someone who could help me give my young horse the best possible start while also helping me become a better rider with my jumper. She's done so much more than that. Her patience, encouragement, and ability to meet both horse and rider where they are have given me so much confidence. She helped me understand not just what to do, but why it matters, and that has completely changed the way I approach riding and training. Watching my young horse grow into a confident, willing partner has been incredibly rewarding, and I've seen just as much growth in myself as a rider.×´
