My daughter rode with Abbey from 2018 to 2020, starting when she was 11. Abbey led her in lessons, camps, and trail rides. I often dropped my daughter off for the lessons and trail rides, as Abbey takes safety very seriously. I was never concerned about leaving my daughter in her capable hands. My daughter looked up to Abbey, and learned quite a bit from her during their time together. I would absolutely recommend Abbey as an instructor.

I trained with Abbey from November 2018 to mid-2020. I was 11 when we met. I was doing Western and English, and she taught me a lot of the basics that gave me a good foundation of the rider I am today. In addition to lessons, we often went on trail rides. Abbey always listened to what I had to say, and we had a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend her. She makes learning fun!

Abbey not only helped me in the moment during a race, via phone, resulting in a total successful course, she also helped me gain confidence again. She has an uncanny ability to know when to push a rider to the next level while instilling a deep care for horsemanship, as well as making lessons truly enjoyable.

I met Abbey when she boarded at a barn where I worked in 2020, and it was abundantly clear even early on that she knows her stuff when it comes to horses. I’ve been training horses for a few years now, yet to this day, I know I can reach out to Abbey if I have any horse-related questions or concerns and expect an intelligent answer based on years of experience and passion for all things equine. She has a God-given gift for retaining information, and equally so for then passing it on in a manner that is appropriate for each person’s level of understanding. Which brings me to my next point: One of my favorite things about Abbey is her love not just for the horses, but for their riders. You’ll be hard-pressed to meet an instructor who loves her young students more and yet pushes them to get better and better at riding. She takes joy in building them up, encouraging them and helping to impart solid horsemanship in each of them. I find her respect of young riders to be refreshing and rare in an environment that is so often discouraging and disheartening for kids who just love horses and dream of spending as much time with them as they can. Abbey herself is a forever student, constantly wanting to learn more about how to better care for, and coexist with, horses. And if you spend any time at all with her, just know you’ll be learning along the way as a result. I personally have learned so much from her, and I highly recommend her as a trainer, instructor and most of all, friend. 

I can't say enough about how amazing Abbey is as a horse trainer and as a person. Her ability to build confidence and trust in both her students and their horses is truly remarkable. Abbey has done so much for others, always going above and beyond to help in any way she can. She has a unique talent for understanding both the needs of the rider and the horse, ensuring that both are always put first. Her dedication and passion are evident in everything she does, making her not just a great trainer, but an incredible person who genuinely cares about the well-being and success of those she works with. Abbey is truly one of a kind, and anyone who has the pleasure of working with her is incredibly lucky.

Description goes heI am incredibly grateful to be working with Abbey and Elite Wisdom Equestrian. From the moment I met Abbey, I was struck by her extensive knowledge.She possesses not only a wealth of information about riding but also a profound understanding of horse care and health. Abbey always places the well-being of the horses as her top priority. When I initially met Abbey, my riding skills were very unstable and extreley underdeveloped. However, since then, I have made significant strides in perfecting my position and enhancing my riding abilities, bringing me closer to my goals. I am incredibly grateful for the valuable experience I’ve gained under such a remarkable trainer. Abbey is also a genuinely kind person who goes to great lengths to support anyone in need. Her commitment and hard work are unlike anything I have ever encountered. No matter where her path takes her, I truly hope for nothing but the best for her, as she always wishes the best for those around her.
