I’ve only started riding with Ariel about four months ago but in that short time, I can honestly say I learned more from her program, at Blue Feather than I have any other. Ariel puts her horses’ health and well-being before anything else to make sure they are comfortable, as well as her riders. The school horses are each very pleasant and unique, offering different learning opportunities to take from each lesson. I came into the program with 15 years of riding experience, looking to learn more of a discipline. Not only have I learned a lot, but my horses have also made a lot of progress with the knowledge I have taken home. I find myself a more confident rider than I was four months ago. They say to find a career that you love and you’ll never work a day in your life and that truly shows through Ariel’s teaching and dedication to her students and horses.

Ariel is a professional and personable trainer and a lovely person. She runs an excellent program with wonderful horses who receive the best care. I was always a very nervous rider having ridden horses I was not experienced enough for and having jumped large jumps I was not ready for. I am always comfortable with her horses, and I am always willing and ready to try something new because I trust her and the horses. She has a way of explaining things in such detail that things click into place (and that’s coming from a middle school teacher). My riding has improved tremendously since joining her program. I would highly recommend Blue Feather after joining the program. I am so happy and I have never looked back.
