"JoyRide has been a fantastic experience for our family. Both of our kids have had an excellent time learning about horses and working on the basics of riding. Elle and Tess have shown that they care a great deal about the riders and go the extra mile to make sure that everyone is having fun and is safe."

"We love JoyRide! It’s a beautiful location and we come away with a “zen” feeling (along with a few sore muscles for my daughter 😀). A few things we’ve loved- Elle teaches how to read the horse and about his personality so that they can work together while constantly giving positive feedback to horse and rider. My daughter is in high school , a fairly new rider and new to NC. It’s been a very positive environment, with consistent, clear communication and expectations."

"My experience with JoyRide has been nothing but amazing. Elle and Tess are both very knowledgeable and excellent instructors. They know their stuff! The stable is organized, the horses are very well-cared-for, and the general vibe is one where you can feel that everyone loves to be there, including the horses (and Wanda the cat)."

"JoyRide has been an absolutely amazing experience for my child. The instructors are not only knowledgeable, but have great instincts when it comes to children and their comfort level and skill. My child’s confidence has soared since she began lessons at JoyRide. It truly feels like being with family to be at this barn!"

"I was looking for an activity for my daughter that would help her build her coordination, confidence, focus, and get her outside. I didn’t want dance class for reasons of my own, and horseback riding seemed like a good fit, IF we could find the right barn program. I was prepared to have to try a few. We were so fortunate to find Elle and JoyRide right off the bat. This is the perfect program to teach my daughter skills in a low pressure environment focused on development."


"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!"
