"Almost one year ago today, we saw Dolly for the first time. We could tell in a short amount of time she was friendly, curious, and a bit on the lazy side. But because we were purchasing the horse for my 11 year old daughter, Amanda, we were willing to look past the laziness. As we got to know Dolly better, her lazy and unruly behavior was a problem. She wasn’t responsive to Amanda’s commands and trail riding was frustrating when she refused to cross water, move faster than a walk, unless she was headed back to the barn and worse yet, she actually reared. We knew we had to do something.

Having just moved to the area, we began looking for someone to help us through Dolly’s difficulties. We were recommended by a friend to give Lynn a call. Lynn kept Dolly for 30 days. During that period, we made frequent visits to see Dolly. We barely recognized our horse. Dolly was lowering her head for Amanda to put on her bridal, she was for the first time respectful of Amanda’s space and moving backward quite well. Her ground manners had definitely improved. By the following visit we were able to observe Dolly under saddle. Amanda, with Lynn’s direction, was able to move Dolly from a walk to a trot and then something we had never seen her do, a complete gallop and she was able to hold her pace for a period of time. WOW!

By the end of the 30 days Dolly was picking up on leg ques, side passing and doing very well responding to Amanda’s every command. In 30 days we saw great improvement and as a result, Dolly has been enjoyable to ride and we couldn’t imagine our life without her. Lynn was wonderful in helping us understand and know how to continue Dolly’s training so that we could keep the results. We would definitely recommend Lynn’s training program"                                      Angie 02/08
