In the short amount of time I took lessons with Carol, I saw such an improvement in my riding. She was able to communicate concepts to me in a ways I have never before heard. This, in turn, allowed me to effectively communicate with the horse I was riding and get what I needed out of them. Quality instruction for sure! - I. Knarbi, IDA Rider
