  • "Peggy is an amazing riding teacher. She is able to share her knowledge, experience and love of horses with all levels. My granddaughter learned so much about riding, responsibilities and life from Peggy. I highly recommend her.”

    Jan G.

  • "I turned to Peggy to get back into hunter riding after a long hiatus. She paired me with Sully, a great thoroughbred I half-lease. Safety and horsemanship education are key, alongside mastering the basics: core strength, balance, position, and feel. Peggy's lessons are focused and attentive, especially important for older riders like me. She fosters confidence and growth through encouragement. I feel fortunate to be part of Peggy's supportive barn community."

  • "I have trained with Peggy for 9 years, she has done a great job with both of my horses. Peggy provides a safe and supportive atmosphere, and she promotes learning and fun for both rider and horse. She has pushed me to be the strongest rider I can be both at home and at shows."

    Lydia A.

  • "I have ridden with Peggy for 3+ years, and she taught my daughter for several years as well. She's given us both a fantastic foundation and met me where I was as a nervous rider. We highly recommend her, her horses and her program."
