Stacey is the best trainer in the world! She really has mastered horsemanship and is the best coach I could ask for. She is a super human and cares about all people and animals.
I just started video lessons with Stacey a couple of months ago and I was so impressed with the changes in both horses after just one lesson. She really got down to the core of our issues right away! I saw immediate improvement.
Stacey is a real asset to dressage and we are lucky to have her in our community. She has trained an impressive assortment of horses to FEI levels and is a respected professional in and out of the saddle. In lessons, suggestions are delivered with wit, humour, and patience.
Stacey is not only a great rider but a fantastic teacher! The ability to teach all levels with different types of horses while keeping it fun!! Stacey has mastered all these skills.
Stacey is an incredible dressage trainer. She has worked with both me and my daughter, and her passion for the sport truly shines through in every lesson. She’s not only dedicated to helping you reach your goals as a rider, but she also genuinely cares about the wellbeing of the horse. She even offers virtual lessons, which makes it so convenient to continue learning and improving no matter your schedule or location. Her approach creates a positive, supportive learning environment that builds both confidence and skill. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to grow and become a better equestrian.

I was struggling with my new horse, a young warmblood, and called Stacey to see if we could come for a lesson. I hadn't trained with Stacey before, but knew she came highly recommended and she has been GREAT!! I was worried that I was going to have to sell my young horse because I couldn't seem to find a path forward with him, but Stacey has taken us from that inauspicious start, to a true partnership. Stacey's deep knowledge, professionalism, and compassion for horses and riders, has made all the difference for my horse and I.
I love my virtual lessons with Stacey. It allows me the convenience of riding at my own facility while getting the expert eyes on the ground that Stacey provides! Less stress for my horse and more time in my day for me… it’s a win win scenario!
If you’re considering virtual lessons, I can’t recommend them enough. It’s an easy, effective, and stress-free way to elevate your riding. You truly won’t regret giving it a try!
Stacey has a way of teaching just like an educator. She is able to watch a rider and give them an individualized program to fit the rider and the horse’s needs. Unlike so many instructors that gave the same lesson to each horse and rider. ❤️
This program is a great fit for riders who are ready to improve but need the right guidance to get there.
