I bought Bojangles, my ‘dreamhorse’ as a yearling.  At that time I had 14 years of experience riding all kinds of horses and had owned several different breeds.  I primarily ride English and enjoy eventing, dressage, trail riding and foxhunting.  My riding has slowed down with 2 small children but I did some ground work with Bojangles when I had time.  Now 3 years later it was time for Bojangles to go under saddle, but due to a previous bad fall on another horse, we decided a trained professional should start him.  I found Lynn on the internet and contacted her.  Her and her husband Steve seemed to say all the right things and she invited me to visit her facilities and watch her in action.  I was very impressed!  She made everything black and white for the horse and for the human.  I really liked how she emphasized safety and it didn’t seem to matter what level rider you were, your horse still had to behave appropriately. 

Throughout Bojangles’ training, Lynn kept me informed of his progress.  I was invited to visit whenever I could.  The first time I saw Lynn lope him under saddle, I almost cried!  Then she exhaled and they did a perfect stop.  On later visits, I was encouraged to ride Bojangles.  Lynn did an amazing job.  Bojangles really matured during his stay with them, he is responsive about cues but calm about new things.  It was worth every penny!  I highly recommend Lynn for starting young horses, as well as retraining problem ones.
