What People Are Saying About Lessons…
“Angie has an innate understanding of the horse. In the EAL and horsemanship sessions I have facilitated with Angie, she provides a safe, encouraging and knowledge filled environment. Her gentle spirit and loving heart are paramount in guiding you through your journey with the equine, leaving you with a wonderful experience.” ~ D.K
“I have come to deeply appreciate and respect Angie as a phenomenal Equine Specialist, educator, and researcher. The unique combination of skills she possesses, coupled with an extraordinary personality and a big heart, make Angie a stand-out in the field of Equine Assisted therapies. Her extensive knowledge and love for natural horsemanship is a valuable asset in all of her lessons.” ~ Dr. Natasha Filippides, Clinical Psychologist, www.StandInBalance.com
“I have had the opportunity to observe Angie work with horses and their owners on a number of occasions. I was not prepared for the magic of the communication and relationship building that she does with horses seemingly with little effort. In just a few minutes she has even difficult horses cooperating in a calm and trusting way. At the same time, I observe her gain the trust and respect of the owner with her authoritative but empathetic and kind manner of teaching. I think it is an opportunity and gift for any horse owner to have her work with them.” ~ B.H.
Angie’s clinic was a monumental day for me. I rode my horse Chester after not riding him for two years - after being previously bucked off by him. Thank you Angie for your slow, kind, patient approach that helped Chester and I to overcome our fears.” ~ S.K.
“Taking lessons with Angie I learned the different ways that horses learn. Different horses learn differently (like people) and they are eager to learn, if the one teaching them senses their subtleties. Angie has the same sensitivity with humans too, as she teaches us about ourselves through horses. She’s calm, cool, and collected; loves the work, and loves to teach!” ~ H.C.
“Due to Angie’s unique training as an educator, researcher, natural horsemanship trainer, and therapeutic riding and groundwork instructor, she brings a well-developed and thorough equine assisted learning program to clients. Angie is also very versatile as a coach and is able to offer both riding and groundwork lessons to clients. In addition, Angie is an exceptional leader and a strong team player. Her character and attitude make her easy to work with, reliable, and effective.” ~ Dr. Vallerie E. Coleman, PsyD, PhD - CEO Stand InBalance, www.StandInBalance.com
