What People Say

Daniela M.

“Andrea worked with two of my horses—one recovering from an old injury with residual stiffness, and another returning to work after a long lay-off. Within just four weeks, through a thoughtful combination of in-hand and under-saddle work as well as nerve release bodywork, both horses showed remarkable improvement. They became noticeably freer in their movement, developed muscle correctly, and were more willing and responsive overall. I would strongly recommend Andrea to anyone seeking expert support in rehabilitating a horse from injury, bringing a horse back into work, or developing correct movement patterns.”

Anne E.

“I completely fell in love with horseback riding and have to thank Andrea for it. She is knowledgeable and clear, yet endlessly patient and encouraging. Andrea is creating an environment where I feel excited to learn and unembarrassed to make mistakes. I hope my next instructor has the same magic touch.”

Janet E.

“Andrea is a guide to becoming the kind of person that horses need. Her gentle teaching offers a meaningful invitation to deepen self awareness (“relax, breathe, feel how your body moves”), to stretch one’s sense of curiosity, and step into horsemanship with courage and the willingness to learn and understand life- from the horse’s perspective.  She continues to surprise me with her  innate horse-sense,  she is a gift to teaching!”

Charleen and Courtney Cheng

“Andrea is an exceptional horse riding instructor who goes above and beyond to ensure her students’ success and enjoyment. Her positive feedback, extensive knowledge, and love for horses make each lesson a rewarding and enriching experience. Andrea tailors her lessons to our individual needs and skill levels, ensuring that we progress at a pace that suits us best. If you’re looking for a dedicated and talented instructor who can teach you not only how to ride but also the intricacies of horsemanship, Andrea is the perfect choice. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation.”

Pat M.

“Andrea is a dependable, kind and consistent trainer. She knows how to work with each horse. I like that she shares her ideas so I can be better, too.”

Vicki

“Andrea has helped our older horse build muscle and improve dexterity. After a bout of illness, he lost his top line and needed careful training to bring it back. Thanks to her help, he is 25 years old and stronger than ever.”

Robert C.

“I’ve retired early and living the dream of owning my own horse. While my horse was described as being ‘broke’, he likely was ‘cowboy broke’ and very – very – rough around the edges. This is where I’m most fortunate to have Andrea. Her horsemanship skills coupled with her soft but definite demeanor is bringing my horse up to speed. She is a natural teacher so as the horse learns, so do I as I watch and listen to her as she works.“

Richard Koscher

“I can’t say enough great things about Andrea as a horse trainer. Not only do I know her personally, but I was absolutely blown away by her teaching methods. As a total newbie (a wannabe cowboy at 49!), I had no idea what to expect when I started riding, but Andrea made the experience incredible from day one. She has a way of breaking things down step by step, communicating clearly and patiently, making even the most complex skills feel achievable. She takes her time to ensure both the rider and the horse feel comfortable, building confidence with every lesson. Her passion, knowledge, and deep connection with these incredible animals are truly inspiring. Riding with Andrea isn’t just about learning—it’s about having fun, pushing limits, and discovering a whole new world. If you’re thinking about riding, there’s no one better to guide you.”
