Testimonials

"Dear Karin,

We would like to say thank you for giving Liliana the opportunity to ride Snoopy! Stonehill Stable is unique in that it will work with younger Children, and Liliana continues to mention her special day EVERY single day. I was impressed with your patience, and your commitment to your work. Thank you - we will see you again!
Ellen and Liliana (mom and daughter)

Karin, Thank you for all of your great instruction and help! Every time I ride Todd he is better and better! Happy New Year!"

- Trish [proud owner of Todd, a Tennessee Walker, that she boards at Stonehill Stable]

"Lessons with Karin have been an incredibly fruitful opportunity for me. I have been riding for seven years, yet none of my previous trainers instilled the basics in me as well as Karin has in a matter of two or three lessons, due to her wide range of teaching techniques. In that time, I have improved my seat and horsemanship tremendously, and I know I will continue to get better under her instruction. She not only works on strengthening fundamentals, but also encourages her students in new challenges as well. I highly recommend lessons with Karin to any rider looking to make progress!"

- Erin Kolo, 21

"Karin is extremely knowledgeable about her field. Her passion toward helping children is evident in her enthusiasm toward class each week. Therapeutic Riding sessions are often all the children talk about during other therapy visits and that is because Karen makes it so fun and beneficial for them."

- Michelle Meschke [Easter Seals]

Celeste's Mom: "Give Snoopy a hug, and say thank you for letting you ride. Do you want to come back again next week?"

Celeste (three years old): "No! I want to stay!!"

Wanted to let you know the girls loved the sledding with snoopy ytd!
They are LOVING this time at Stonehill. They had there home school group school today and had to bring their favorite Christmas present to share. They each printed a photo of riding to show everyone. They talk about it all the time. You are doing such a good job with them, you are so patient and kind to them, just like you are with everyone else too! But it has been so much fun watching them interact with you. See you in 2 weeks!

Again . . . Thanks!
