Gretta has been my daughters instructor for about 5 years. When my daughter started riding she had no previous experience with horses.
Gretta has a real passion for passing on her knowledge to her students. Gretta took my daughters blank slate and with patient and competent instruction developed my daughters proficient horsemanship. If my daughter had the aspiration, Im confident, under Grettas tutelage, she could become an accomplished show-woman.
In addition to cultivating an environment that is safe for horse and rider, she had developed a barn culture that is respectful and supportive. My experience has been that both riders and parents/adults embrace this culture because it is the ideal environment for growing, both as an observer and a rider. I think one way this barn culture is established is by her encouraging more seasoned riders to mentor less seasoned riders. Not only does the mentor and mentee grow, but the communication removes the barrier of awkward silence.
Thank you, Gretta, for being a positive role model to my daughter. You have taught her how to live with grace and dignity. In addition you have taught us both that when life knocks you down, it is possible to build and live again.

Gretta has provided Equine Therapy for my son, 16, diagnosed with ASD for about 2 years now. Gretta is always upbeat, positive, and patient with Sam, and they have a really good rapport. Sam looks forward to Equine Therapy and much of it has to do with the way Gretta makes him feel. She never talks down to him, she pushes him to do as much for himself as possible, which is exactly what he needs. I can't imagine Sam thriving anywhere else the way he does at Elliott Stables.

My two Arabs have been boarded at Elliott Stables since I moved to the area five years ago. Gretta provides high quality feeds, regular feeding schedules and her own brand of kindness and sincere, individual care for each of the animals at the stable. The atmosphere at the stable is business-like, but warm and friendly. I also participate in the lesson program at Elliott Stables. Even while riding with other students, Gretta is able to individualize our lessons and not only point out our problems, but teach us how to work through them. The best part is that the lessons are big fun! I recommend Elliott Stables without reservation.

My daughter has been riding with Gretta for about 4 1/2 years. She has learned so much! The atmosphere of the barn is great! The kids encourage each other, and respect each other and all the animals there. She gets very upset if we have to miss a lesson. Gretta takes wonderful care of her students and her animals. I would recommend Elliott Stables to anyone!
