When I first came to Arielle, age 7, I’d never rode a horse & didn’t have any experience but I knew I LOVED horses. 1.5 years later, she’s taught me how to love & care for them. I can now tack a horse by myself and ride both English & Western styles. My favorite thing is doing small jumps in the arena, cantering & short trail rides. Arielle is the best teacher, so much knowledge about horses & in such a fun & encouraging environment.
My daughter has been training in group lessons for a few years at another ranch & loved it, but realized it was time to step it up & begin private lessons. We found FD Performance for private lessons with Arielle. I cannot express how much of a difference it has made in her riding. The entire ranch is so beautifully maintained & Arielle is so lovely, light, knowledgeable & caring. Every lesson is filled with encouragement, new skills, honing of existing skills & attention to what my daughter needs to excel. We truly feel like part of a community with Arielle!
