Testimonials
Dressage Training
“My name is Chance Donaldson and while I have been around horses my whole life, I just recently acquired an interest in them. I started riding at age 7 but got serious about it just this last year when I took some lessons from Karin Glynn. Then I really started feeling a love for these majestic creatures.”
Chance D.
Dressage Student
“As an instructor, Karin excels well beyond most. She teaches her students as she trains her horses; with kindness and respect. Being a great rider herself, she has the ability to not only instruct from the ground, but to get on your horse and actually SHOW you how to do it properly. So whether you are a child, or an FEI rider, there is no better person to help you and your horse form a better partnership.”
