Blogs: Equestrian Center

This past weekend I brought seven students to the local Pioneer Valley Therapeutic Riding Association benefit horse show. It was great being able to support not only another barn in our community but a great program as well.

The morning classes included equitation and hunter type classes over fences and in the afternoon my walk trot riders had a chance to compete. The horses were amazing as were the riders and everyone did very well.

Horse shows are always a great place to test your skills and learn what you need to work on as a rider and as a coach it is a great way for me to see what areas my students need to work on overall. From this horse show I want to practice staying straighter over fences and picking up the correct lead.

Congratulations to everyone!

About Mara

Hi, I'm Mara. I hold several equine business related degrees and have earned numerous national awards for riding. I've been seriously involved with horses my entire life and have ridden with many locally and nationally known horse professionals. I've also worked as a working student for hunter/jumper trainers Tammy Provost-Vitello and Wendy Newby, primarily as a rider and instructor. I've worked extensively with event, jumper and dressage trainer Jerry Schurink.

My love for horses is genuine and my desire to share that passion with others is the chief reason I'm working on this site. Be sure to check out my blog for more about my experiences with horses as well as my videos here on the site.
