Testimonial, Diane Garvey, student since 2006:

"My friends who take riding lessons with Ashley say that one reason she is such a great instructor is because she is so intelligent. I agree and observe that she knows the limitations and capabilities of each horse and rider and can customize the lesson to individual needs. She also uses humor to get a point across and we always have a good laugh. Ashley challenges us so at the end of the lesson we say: "I didn't think I could do that!" and "That was so much fun!""
