In one month I can see a remarkable difference in Molly. I feel I can communicate with her much more clearly and rapidly, and she is a happier horse. She has learned to bend at the poll, do transitions and stop with a minimum of cues, and no rebellion.

I especially like Virginia's emphasis on lightness and quick response in both the horse and rider. She is a sensitive, remarkably patient trainer who never loses her cool. Her horses quickly come to understand her clear, logical program. I consider Molly's training at Dancing Horse Farm an indispensable investment towards her future career.

It's such a joy to have a safe, sane horse to work around and to ride. She's so sweet and well-trained that I'm comfortable putting just about anyone on her back. And she's such a trooper on the trails. It's funny to see a little 4 year old leading the silly 11 year olds past the "unidentified scary object to the right of the trail!"

Thank you for doing such a wonderful job with Calliope. Don't be surprised if I turn up with another "project" for you in the future! And please feel free to give my name and number to potential clients. I would be happy to tell them of what a great job you did with Calliope!

During a lesson she makes me feel as though I am the most important person she has to work with that day! Virginia really cares about my progress, making sure that I understand what she expects of me and why. (To me the why is an important part of my learning process). Her lessons reach beyond the normal "tack up and go". Virginia often suggests that I read "this book", "attend that clinic" or "check out this web site she found". If she doesn't have the answer, she finds it or sends me to someone who does. She is always saying "let me share with you what _____ taught me."
