Saddle 2 Ride

Received a super fast response. They were very understanding that I wasn't sure if my daughter would even be ok with the horses and accommodated me with a single class to try it out. I also had some plans change and again they went out of their way to make it work for me. Five stars all around!

My 9yo daughter has been doing Saddle 2 Ride for over a year now, and she loves it. Gina is *amazing.* Just the right balance of encouraging and firm, so that my daughter is determined and never discouraged. I recommend Saddle 2 Ride for both beginners and experienced riders. The camps, too, are great for kids who want to get some time around horses and see what it's like. I can't say enough good things about this program!

My two daughters (now ages 10 & 12) have been taking lessons at Topline Training through their beginner program Saddle2ride. They've been riding there for just over a year now and really love it. Their trainer Anja is wonderful with the kids and very patient. My girls have learned a ton in just a year! I've ridden and worked in the horse industry most of my life (at least before kids), so I knew what to look for when my girls wanted to ride. I researched a lot of places in the area and chose the Saddle2ride program for several reasons. Their facilities are very clean, safe, and the horses are well cared for. It's also a bonus that the girls get to watch and learn from the advanced riders who work with trainer Gina. I would definitely recommend both Topline Training and Saddle2ride as well as their trainers Gina and Anja.

My daughter took lessons with Gina many years ago and competed in the Junior Championships. She had a great experience, and I have always liked Gina's approach to Dressage instruction. I trailer in to take a lesson with her once a week now in order to strengthen my Dressage while competing in the Eventing discipline. It is hard to find really good horse trainers, and I highly recommend Gina's program to anyone wanting to learn the basics properly or if you are an established rider looking to improve upon your current skills. Gina knows how to meet you where you are and show you how to improve through very subtle but easy to understand instruction. Gina is an extremely confident, knowledgeable and thorough instructor and rider!

If you are interested in learning to ride, or honing your dressage skills you couldn't find a better set of instructors.I am new to riding and am not young. Over the course of the last few months I have been able to learn so much from Crystal and Gina it is amazing. They are so professional and competent in their approach that you cannot help but become a better rider. Lessons are well planned for the beginner (young and old) that includes the basics of not only riding but caring for the horse. If you do not want to know everything you possibly can about horses and riding then this isn't for you! They are generous with the time and knowledge. They encourage riders to come and observe other, more advanced equestrians during coaching sessions which are so very helpful in developing your own skills. Crystal has been a terrific instructor for me and I have had the opportunity to observe her with some very young riders and she is great-patient and methodical. Gina is a great coach for the more advanced riders and always willing to let you listen in on a lesson. And the facility where they are based is excellent so if you are interested in riding dressage or just learning to ride you couldn't go wrong with Saddle2Ride!

What a great place to learn excellent riding skills! I have two children in the beginner program with Crystal, and I could not have asked for a better instructor. My teenagers are learning everything they need to know in regard to horsemanship skills and have become awesome riders. Crystal always takes her time with her students and works hard to help them with any issues they may have. The lesson horses are top notch and so well taken care of. I would recommend this program to anyone.
