About

I specialize in riding instruction at a smaller private facility. Since I do not have boarders, I can concentrate all my time on providing quality individualized instruction on experienced show horses. Many of my students have progressed in their riding and gone on to successfully competing on their college equestrian teams.

I've been taking lessons with Ruth since returning to riding in April 2011--after 20 years of no riding. Ruth is a terrific judge of when I'm ready to take it to the next level and great at getting me there. I couldn't ask for a better instructor!

My girls just started riding with Ruth and they absolutely love it. Ruth is very patient and knowledgeable and she values the riders safety. Also the ponies she has are perfect for the young ones just starting out.

I haven't ridden in years and I was afraid that I would have lost any of the skills I'd developed when I was younger. Ruth was great at pinpointing where I could use development and what areas I still had a solid base in. Every week I learn something new and strengthen the areas I've already learned. She's always on time and ready to go as soon as I arrive. I love working with her and am excited to keep improving under her direction

I am an adult rider and over the years have had many instructors. Ruth has proven to be, by far, the best teacher I have ever had. Through her combined method of training, I have developed my riding skills dramatically and have gained a sense of confidence I had not believed possible. I now own my own horse and continue to train with Ruth to further develop my understanding of the sport and to enhance my level of riding.
