"My 14 year old daughter who began as a novice rider has been taking lessons from Elle for the last seven months. We are so pleased with her progress and especially with her confidence. Elle is so easy to talk to for both students and parents. She is always teaching from the moment her student goes out to the field to get their horse until they put it up after doing post-riding care. Her students learn safety, horse care, anatomy, and also how to be aware of their horse's temperament and mood. Each lesson is such a positive experience even if there were challenges tacking up or in the ring. Elle's outlook and attitude make her students feel good about their abilities yet motivated to work hard to improve."

"Watching Elle work with my daughters and with other children and youth around horses is amazing! She is calm and confident in her teaching and instructing which creates an atmosphere of continuous learning for all who spend time with her. Elle is such a fun person and a determined, trustworthy, reliable, hard working woman with great integrity."

"Elle as an instructor: she is super patient, and makes learning fun, but serious so you want to learn more. You can tell she cares about the horses and students and wants them to progress, (sincere). She's always trying to help you get better at what you want to do, and she makes you work for it. She's amazing!!!"

"She is my favorite horse instructor! She is very patient. Her instruction is clear and she is very sweet. When I ride, she makes me feel confident and her riding helps me improve my riding. I am so thankful to have her as my instructor and I would not want another!"
