Testimonials

"Kadence has been such an incredible part of my daughter Sophia's journey. Sophia took riding lessons with her for about a year and a half, starting when she was just 4 years old, and the growth we saw during that time was truly amazing.

Kadence was so patient, gentle and encouraging, never rushing her and always making her feel safe and confident. Over time, we watched Sophia completely transform from being nervous to even be around horses, to being independent, confident and doing things on her own that we never imagined at the start.

We are so grateful for the time Sophia spent learning from Kadence, and we will always appreciate the positive impact she had on her. Any family would be lucky to have Kadence as their instructor. We can't recommend her enough!"

"I can't say enough good things about Kadence! My 8-year-old was incredibly nervous her first riding lesson but really wanted to try riding horses. Kadence responded beautifully and created a low-pressure environment that helped my daughter feel really safe. Fast-forward a year and a half of almost weekly lessons with Kadence: my daughter's confidence has soared around horses and it has been a joy to watch her horsemanship grow! I can't recommend Kadence enough for any parent looking for a kind, expert instructor!"

- Summer

"Having my 4-year-old (wild, horse enthusiast son), take riding lessons from Kadence was one of the best decisions we have ever made! Our son has been obsessed with horses since he was a baby and as he got older, that obsession was clearly not going anywhere. We decided to enroll him in one of the Littles Camps that Kadence puts on and she was able to get to my wild boy and see his heart and help him find his confidence and skill both on the ground and in the saddle. By their last lesson together (and "besties" by now), Wyatt was eagerly collecting tack, grooming, picking hooves, leading out, walking, learning to trot and control a full-sized horse! You will not regret signing your kids up for lessons with her! We will miss her dearly and will forever be grateful for permanently solidifying our boy's love of horses and providing him with the knowledge and confidence to continue pursuing his love of riding!"
