I don't even know where to begin with what it's been like working under Lisa at Burgeon Sport Horses. I've had the privilege to be under Lisa for the past year. She is seriously the most hard-working, determined, and passionate person i've met. She's not only a role model but someone I can look up to in the equestrian industry.Lisa puts so much time and effort into her horses and business, the horses are well cared for and each week i'm there I notice the improvements on each horse she works with. She has always put the horses needs above her own and i've had the privilege to watch her work her magic on horses and riders.I have never left a lesson without her celebrating big or small wins of my ride from that day and I truly feel like I improve each ride under Lisa. In a short amount of time, I've gained the confidence and progression I haven't found anywhere else. I feel truly blessed to have found Lisa and Burgeon Sport Horses. I can't wait to see what the future holds and the knowledge i'll gain while learning from Lisa!

Lisa as Riding instructor + Horse TrainerI appreciate Lisa's training style. She is patient and at same time treats her clients as intelligent people. I love her energy, especially when, every lesson after lesson, i see great, measurable improvement in riding and confidence. Although, i have not seen her training young horses (which is her speciality), any minor problems i get with the horse i ride, she was able to fix them very easily (bad behavior while mounting, Mare's attitude when didn't want me to pick her hoofs... ). Not only i recommend her as a coach, but as a horse trainer. 5 Star equestrian barnFacility is very beautiful, with great views. Its clean, nice environment for your horses, as well as nice arenas for you to work.

I have been taking Dressage lessons from Lisa for about 4 months now. I have taken weekly lessons from a variety of coaches over the last few years. She's one of my favorite instructors to date. She communicates well, is very organized, reasonable rates and is quite professional. She challenges me to push myself. She's no-nonsense, but kind and approachable. Often, instructors can be bossy or condescending - I've never felt that way with her. I feel my confidence as a rider has grown the most as a rider under her coaching, and that she values the experience I bring from other avenues of my horsemanship. Also, and equally important to me is that from day-one I felt like I was a valuable member of the team and was included in plans for field-trips and competitions. I really appreciate that. I also appreciate that she has a horse that matches my needs - one that's younger, has energy, learns well, is patient and wants to work and grow with me. I look forward to our continued journey together.

I wish I could give this trainer zero stars. I purchased a Groupon for three 1-hour long private or semi-private lessons. I have been riding horses on and off for more than 20 years and decided to get the Groupon to explore new trainers in the area. Anyone who has ever ridden horses knows that a group lesson means you each get a different horse and ride together in the same arena. Well I guess to Lisa it means splitting time and sharing the same horse, but paying the same amount of money. I spoke with her and explained to her on the first initial call that I am not a beginner rider and would not like a beginner rider experience. She acted like that was fine and would try to match me up with someone who was the same experience level as me. She never once mentioned we would be sharing a horse. She was supposed to email me a release form. When I never received it and the lesson came closer I asked her for it again. During that conversation it came up that I had to share not only the lesson (which would have been fine) we would also be sharing a horse. This is when she decided to tell me that we would only get about 15-20 mins of ride time each and the rest of the time we would watch the other person ride. Please keep in mind I paid over $80 for this and that was with an extra 20% discount from Groupon. This is a complete scam on her part and she is overcharging beginners in hopes of making some extra cash. Please if you are a beginner rider or any type of rider for that matter do not trust her services. There are far better trainers out there who care about their students and do not try to make extra money by scamming unexpected people.

My husband and daughter used a Groupon fromThen this last weekend. They had a wonderful experience with Lisa and her helper. It was a great introductory session on how to care for the horse, walking it and riding it. Highly recommend it.

Lisa is the 100% best at what she does. My 12 yr OTTB was having serious anxiety (violent and stubborn) with my straight load trailer. He would not get in no matter what we tried - food, positive reinforcement, extra hands. When we could get him in he would blow back, break butt bars and injure himself. Lisa worked with him patiently and at the end of only one month he now self loads happily and stands like a gentleman in the trailer munching on hay until a verbal cue to back is given. Lisa not only helped him figure out that the trailer was not scary but also gave me the tools to continue to be successful when I took him of property. I cannot recommend her enough!

I have learned to ride on really well trained horses at Burgeon Training (not your average burned out lesson pony). I have booked a lesson almost every week and definitely keep learning new skills. I knew some basics of riding but Lisa, as a dressage rider and jumper, knows the nuances that you cannot learn on your own.Instead of spending your time in a lesson getting a horse to move, Lisa's horses have energy and response: 5 stars for continuing to build my confidence.
