Testimonials

Marybeth has had the pleasure and privilege of working with so many wonderful people and horses. Here's just a few of the kind things past clients and clinic attendees have had to say:

- As a rider, working with MaryBeth has been a transformational experience!

- I go to her clinics thinking that she will really help my horse, but I leave her clinics realizing that she has helped me even more.

- She is a very good diagnostician regarding horse behavior. She is able to quickly understand what it is you need to do, to more clearly communicate your wishes to your horse.

- MaryBeth is a master at working with each individual within their own comfort zone. This allows for rapid improvement because the fear factor is immediately removed.

- MaryBeth does not take a cookie-cutter approach in her training, rather she is flexible enough to account for the individual personality traits of both the horse and rider.

- I have left each of her clinics feeling so much more empowered than I was the day before.

- I like the way each of the skills she teaches builds on the previous one.

- I am always eager for another session with MaryBeth because I know that I'll learn something really valuable.

- This is an instructor who is a joy to be around

"I felt that your Saturday class was right on target - you were enthused, evidenced your true concern for the riders as well as the horses, humorous, genuine - and caught the audience's attention w/the information you wanted to convey.....

Sunday a.m. was just as informative, and by then you had most of the rider's ears.

Your love of what you do shines through - "

Marybeth,

When I first got my horse, Marquise, I was sure that he hated me and his new home. I watched you turn my dominant, sometimes scary horse, into a loving partner. I have learned so much from watching you work with him. You really taught Me how to respond to him in a manner that he could understand. I think our lessons were more about teaching me what to do than training him. He already knew it.

I also enjoyed your clinic this past November. Being with others in a group lesson is very helpful. I enjoyed learning the lessons as well as playing the horsey games.

I am so impressed with your manner of teaching both horse and rider. You have made a believer out of me with regards to Horsespeak...

Marquise and I can never thank you enough. I can truly say that we are developing a partnership.....

Thank you - Debbie Knight Moke Hill CA

On Labor Day Weekend, 2005, a wildfire swept through our neighborhood in
the Sierra Nevada foothills. destroying 13 houses, including three
adjacent to our property. Two of our outbuildings and most of our three
acres burned.

At the height of the fire, I had to evacuate our two horses using a
friend's truck and trailer. Both the horses and I had received Mary
Beth's "Horsespeak" training. I had never loaded horses in a trailer.
Thanks to the training, I was able to keep the horses calm while we were
surrounded by flames. I was able to approach them, put on halters and
lead ropes, and lead them to the trailer.

Thanks to the training, I was able to load the horses without problems
or delays, and they remained calm throughout. Both horses are alive
today due to her training.

I can't thank her enough for her program. Even though she was not
present, her training was, and carried us through a most stressful
experience. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Mary Beth,

Several months ago I contacted you while looking for a very calm, stable and small horse as my usual riding horse had become unridable (arthritis). I did eventually purchase a Haflinger pony that I am working with now. She is not a perfect match in any way but I hope she will improve with time.

I am writing to let you know that your concern and interest at that time had a different ring than I experienced with other people selling horses. You care about them. I will never be more than a simple trail rider but I, too, care deeply for the welfare of horses. You made an vast impression on me. I see this as a great gift you have.

Thought you would like to know. Merry Christmas.

<<I thought of y'all since I just came from my cousin's 10-acre horse farm outside of Hillsboro, NC. Beautiful piece of land with some lakefront as well. I told him I could ride ok, (form is lacking) but being the prudent horse person he checked me out in the corral first before our trail ride. Thanks to y'all (i'm picking that up down here) I used the skills you taught me to handle his somewhat finicky horse! It was really cool
how everything you taught me came back and I was able to show the horse who was boss. I even jumped him in the corral, never had done
that before, what a blast! We made it like four out of five times and my cuz couldn't believe it!>>

Marybeth,
"I had a very rewarding time at the spook clinic.....Susan and I were discussing the attributes of the clinic all the way home and thought it would be great if you could come to Los altos Hills to put on one or more clinics for our horseman's association at our Town Ring facility...." Diane G.
