Testimonials
“I have had the opportunity over the past year to get to know, work, and ride with Carmen. She is a very gifted, calm, and focused trainer for both people and horses. I have been amazed at the progress made in a very limited time frame with my young and inconsistently worked horses. I can honestly say I am blessed to have Carmen work with my horses at any stage of development, as well as myself and my family.”

“I received a job opportunity that required me to be out of town for a few months and during that time Carmen was the only person I could entrust to work with my mules and horses. Before I left, my young mule, Sophie, was not confident under saddle and had not yet been bitted. By the time I came back, Sophie was confident with a rider and completely comfortable with a bit. We even did our first trail ride together and I could not have been more happy. Carmen also gave me the tools and skills I needed to continue Sophie’s training; she is an amazing teacher and trainer.”

“Carmen put 60 days on my 7 year old gelding. I was hoping for a more confident, consistent, and trusting partner. Carmen went above and beyond exposing my boy to all the things she possibly could and working with him. He is a whole new horse, more confident, trusting of his rider, and a solidly consistent ride. She is incredibly patient and understanding with each horse she meets and will find what works for you and yours! 11/10 couldn't recommend more!”

“I had the pleasure of having Carmen put some formal training on my 7 year old Friesian stallion, Dulce. He had minimal and inconsistent riding before Carmen started working with him and she taught him dressage basics and exposed him to obstacles and trail riding. Carmen is excellent at building confidence in both the horse and the rider. It is my belief that Carmen is an exceptionally skilled horsewoman and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
