About the Instructor

Lisa started riding at a young age and competed at shows, fox hunted and rode on local trails. While training and riding horses for others, Lisa gained valuable experience as a horse handler and trainer.

In the Fall of 2005, Lisa finally took the plunge. She bought her first horse from a local rescue, The Communication Alliance to Network Thoroughbred Racehorses (CANTER).

Through CANTER Lisa and her brother purchased two off track thoroughbreds (OTTB). Unfortunately the horse Lisa bought had to be put down after sustaining an injury.

So, with a heavy heart, she searched for another horse. Lillie's First was another OTTB, and she stole Lisa's heart right away with her big liquid brown eyes and flashy attitude. Since then, Lilly has been hanging around and trying Lisa's patience.

Soon, Lisa followed her heart and began teaching people to ride and how to care for horses. Her gentle coaching and teaching techniques have made her a favorite lesson instructor in the area. She loves to provide fun activities for students and encourages them to participate in trail rides, paper chases and local fun shows. Lisa trained Always Gamble (Misty), a beautiful gray roan mare. She is offered for sale on our website in the Horses For Sale section. She always has a project horse to bring along ask about "Unchained Chaos" or "Tornado Chaser" her two newest projects.

In the Spring of 2008, Lisa became certified as Certified Horseman's Association Instructor. With this new certification, the lesson program was enhanced. Now students can work through 4 levels of horsemanship on their way to advanced riding.
