".... This young lady is not only one of the best riders I have seen, but she is calm,
pleasant and has a connection with the horse when she rides. ..... When I watch
Amanda ride, it is clear that when the horse leaves the barn from their time spent in
training with her, they will be better ride for anyone!... "

" Amanda did a great job training Hank. He is a 4 year old and didn't know anything.
He was a challenge but she got the job done. Thanks Amanda! "

"....throughout the training I could already tell that I would be satisfied with your method.
You have been using intelligent horsemanship, the horses were willing trainees with you
and have received a great start! It's been two months now that I have been riding them,
mostly alone and sometimes in company with other horses. I use them for trail riding and
they have been doing great! I can't express how happy I am with the training you have
given them! They turned out exactly the way I hoped!
Thank you so much for your hard work, you have done a great job!!

"... She took the time to get to know their personalities and would kindly inform me of
their progress along with pros and cons of both. She works joyfully trying to achieve
what both she and owner wants from the horse. She also has great patience when
working with the horse and owner to get the best riding results. If problems occur she is
quick to help work with you and the horse to solve it..."

"...I have found Amanda to be even-tempered, calm, and patient, very light handed,
and supremely knowledgeable in training horses of any discipline. ... Amanda’s
training made a tremendous difference in his attitude in a short period of time. He
became more relaxed, focused, responsive, willing, patient, and seemed to finally enjoy
having a job to do. He has become a beautiful mover and full of so much potential, all
because of Amanda..."

Michele and Sallee Sue
"....You patiently worked with her in a natural-no-nonsense way and within a couple of
weeks SalleeSue was totally relaxed and you had her out on the trails. .... She was
completely changed in a matter of a few weeks. She crossed bridges, tarps and was not
spooky at all. After 60 days with you, I was ready to do my first trail ride with SalleeSue. I
have now done 2 and been on the road in traffic. .... Amanda you have an amazing gift
with these animals. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you’ve put into
the her. I will highly recommend you for anyone that may have horse training needs...."

| ".... Out of all the trainers in Tennessee (Mustang Makeover), you stood out for your horsemanship, riding ability and overall concern for the welfare of ALL the horses at the event. It is hard to find a talented trainer that does not take shortcuts and sacrifice the horse for an event or their own ego...." Christina, Grover and Thunder Carrollton, GA |

"... Amanda was quick to access my capabilities as well as determine what Jazz would need to
help him overcome his fears. An abused horse needs a very confident rider, and I would need
to become that if this was going to work. I won’t pretend that it was easy, but Amanda was
willing to work with me until I was confident riding Jazz. Inspired by my confidence, Jazz
and I developed a trust that enabled us to bond. Jazz is awesome on the trails, confidently
going where I ask him, over bridges, through water, bicycles, barking dogs, or whatever we
might encounter. Jazz is the horse that I wanted and I am the rider that I aspired to
be…………thanks to Amanda’s honesty, skills, and willingness to work with both of us to
ensure our success...."

| "...when I found out about Amanda and how patient she is and willing to work with me, it was a perfect fit. She made him look as gentle as could be….no more Tasmanian Devil!! Amanda worked with him and in no time had him under saddle. She made it look so easy. I could tell that Charlie really liked Amanda and he blossomed under her training! She took him to train and I was riding him within a month. That is amazing!! Now Charlie and I are riding the trails! Thank you Amanda!!" Sally Outz, Fairburn, GA |
