What Riders Are Saying
We highly recommend Chelsea! Chelsea is professional, responsible, knowledgeable, supportive, positive, and excellent at giving instruction. We have known Chelsea for 10 years. She has provided excellent boarding and care for our horse including medical care post surgery. She has given my daughter countless lessons, training at shows, and provided support and advice, and helped us find a horse to lease when our horse went into retirement.
Chelsea is a wonderful person and coach who will always put the horse's needs first and will work with riders to achieve their goals in a detailed and rewarding manner. There aren't enough words to describe the good things to say about her and her endless knowledge and kindness.
Chelsea took on a project when Freetime and I started jump lessons with her. My jumping experience was decades in the past. Freetime's jumping experience consisted of popping over logs on trails. Rusty + green, we were a colorful combination. Add in that my horse is a big personality type who is super smart and makes his own fun when bored, and that I've been a dressage queen for 15 years. It was obvious what a challenging pair we were going to be for jumping lessons. But Chelsea rose to the challenge, keeping her sense of humor week after week as she creatively came up with pole and jump exercises that kept us both mentally and physically engaged while building the confidence of a green horse and an almost 60 year old dressage queen. We laughed a LOT during our lessons. My horse and I were having so much fun he didn't realize we were doing the serious business of cross training to improve his topline and to support his life long soundness.
Chelsea is a very experienced and trust worthy person and when it comes to her knowledge of horses she is A+++. Chelsea is a beautiful rider and a patient teacher. She is great with both kids and adults. Choosing her as your trainer will be a decision you will not regret.
I was a little skeptical about starting virtual lessons, and I couldn't be more pleased. Chelsea is an incredible instructor and notices every little detail even through a screen. I walk away from my lessons feeling just as accomplished as I would if she were here in person.
