what our clients say
"Hi Lisa,
Thank you so much for your work with the Veteran's program. I never thought I would ever ride horseback. When I was a young girl, many of my classmates lived in the countryside and rode horses, and I wished I understood their love of horses. Seeing horses running in the fields of the more wealthy homesteads of Whidbey Island and watching movies about horses seemed like a world that I couldn't enter. Riding horses, even the pony rides at circuses or state fairs, was something that my family couldn't afford. I accepted this. As I aged, the idea of riding horseback never entered my mind. Finally in my mid 30's, a loose connection introduced me to the Veteran program at Thorncroft where I started my horsemanship journey. In this therapeutic journey, I've practiced different aspects of mindfulness (oh my goodness there is so much mindfulness), patience, discipline, the interrelatedness of cognition and behavior and a new found leg and core strength. Thank you so much for organizing this program that has brought me so much joy and growth in such a short time. "

"We have had the pleasure of having Lisa as our daughter's instructor for 4+ years. Not only is she and excellent teacher, she is patient and kind, works exceptionally well with kids and puts safety above all else. Riding is an inherently dangerous sport and it's been assuring to know that our child is safe in Lisa's care. We are so appreciative of the time and dedication Lisa has spent improving our daughter's riding knowledge, ability, and confidence. Highly recommend!"

"My son with autism has been involved in therapeutic riding for over 18 years, and Lisa is hands down one of my all-time favorite instructors ever! She is keenly aware and attentive to any and all medical or behavioral issues with the individual rider, even accommodating and supporting mild issues (such as a stressful life event) in the moment. She does it with pure grace and empathy. She is skilled beyond measure and pours her entire heart into her students. My son was absolutely blessed to have experienced her teaching, and to have been exposed to her kindness. She is a rare gem."
