Four Star Farm

Natalie is a composed and attentive instructor who helps timid riders overcome their mental obstacles and become effective riders, while also helping them conquer their fear. Her lessons are enjoyable and interactive, creating a playful atmosphere that puts the rider at ease and makes them feel capable of achieving anything. I strongly recommend Natalie as a riding instructor for both novice and experienced riders.

My initial encounter with Four Star Farm surpassed all expectations. The instructors were incredibly upbeat and supportive, and went above and beyond to ensure that my three grandchildren had a fulfilling experience. As a result, we have made plans to enroll in additional lessons this upcoming summer.

It had been about 10 years since I had last ridden a horse, but I had 26 years of experience riding in hunters/jumpers, with half of that time spent competing. Natalie impressed me with her quick evaluation of my skills and her ability to provide a lesson that was both a familiar workout and included new, more challenging tasks to work on. Her instructions were never condescending, and she recognized my previous riding experience while introducing me to new concepts and techniques from other disciplines, such as dressage. I am excited to continue my training under Natalie and grateful for the opportunity to expand my equestrian experience and draw from a broader range of knowledge in equestrian sports than I had previously encountered in one place. Natalie's guidance and pointers have been invaluable.

For a few months now, I've been taking lessons with Natalie and have thoroughly enjoyed every single one. Her collection of horses is exceptional, with each one carrying its own unique lesson to impart. Through her guidance, I've gained an understanding of dressage movements that previously eluded me for years, and I've even resumed jumping at my age of 62! If your goal is to achieve excellence in your riding skills, Natalie's expertise and experience are just what you need.

My first attempt at horse riding in late 2015 was a disaster; I lacked experience and struggled immensely, leaving me humiliated and defeated after each lesson. My poor performance even prevented me from tacking up a lesson horse, knowing that their back legs could easily kick. Nevertheless, I didn't give up and later discovered Four Star Farm through a search online. Natalie, the owner, and her staff are incredibly supportive, and Natalie's background has granted her a unique ability to bring out the best in her horses, students, and staff. The farm not only offers physical riding instruction but also workshops that teach different concepts applicable to life outside the arena. Natalie serves as an incredible role model, inspiring people to constantly pursue their dreams and communicate effectively with their equine partners. With the support and positivity at Four Star Farm, my lessons have been transformed from frustrating to meaningful experiences, demonstrating my improvement through time and effort. The lessons taught at this farm are extended beyond the riding arena, encompassing essential values like leadership and confidence. My daughter will soon begin taking lessons, and I am thrilled that she has been given the opportunity that I wasn't fortunate enough to have had earlier on in life. My gratitude runs deep for the community at Four Star Farm, which has allowed me to grow and learn while also offering a safe space for my daughter to do the same.
