A comprehensive educational experience in a warm atmosphere of sisterhood…

 

Thanks so much for giving me wings to fly, or a seat and confidence to ride! The combination of confidence and competence that you instill, Bev, is one in a million. I will hear your voice or see your horse imitations at every turn! I deeply appreciate your expertise and patience. Your attention and the care you gave me meant so much. Most of all, your Ladies Class taught me to laugh and enjoy myself with the horses.                                          D. Child, Portland, OR
