Kristin Scott-Crocker

Owner, Sunsoar Photography

" I began training with Emily on my 20 year old Quarter Horse, Whisper. Although we were not the traditional dressage pair, Emily worked to teach me the dressage fundamentals and built up my confidence in myself and whisper. We went on to attend the Pony Club National Dressage Rally and I felt proud of my performance and the training I had received. I was also able to earn my first score of 70%! "

Hailey Scola

JR/YR

"Emily explains things in a very clear manner and is very encouraging. Besides being an excellent trainer, Emily is a very knowledgeable horseman who always puts the well-being of the horse and rider above everything."

Marieke Silves-Smitt

JR/YR

"Emily Smith has been giving my 12 year old riding lessons for 2 years now. She was recommended by a friend and I see why. Not only is she a great instructor, she has been able to answer many questions about caring for our horse. She is patient when needed and pushes my daughter to learn about emergency situations and riding outside her comfort zone. I highly recommend Emily as a trainer. We plan to continue working with her for many years to come.”
