"Lindsey is truly an inspirational person. Lindsey devotes
her energy, enthusiasm and positive talents to what she
loves; horses and kids!
My nine year old started lessons with Lindsey almost a year
ago. Lindsey has kindled her love and respect for horses.
My daughter has learned so much from Lindsey. Not only is
she learning the fundamentals of riding, but she is learning
how to care for and understand horses. Even I have learned
a thing or too from watching her teach! Lindsey keeps her
students motivated with a variety of activities such as her
camps and trail rides. She has also given my daughter the
opportunity to work around the farm to understand the labor
that is really involved in horse ownership (which for Lindsey
is a labor of love).
Lindsey is a wonderful instructor and I would highly
recommend her to anyone who is seeking a patient and
caring riding instructor."

I first met Sandman as yearling and liked him right away. He was
already pretty tall and a beautiful chestnut gelding. About a year later
I was able to bring him home. I thought our ground work was going
along o.k. and was able to put a saddle on him and teach him the
basics of lunge work with some help. But as he got closer to 3 yrs old,
he started getting pushier and a little harder to control. My husband
was really worried I was going to try to ride him first myself. But I
realized that I was getting a bit overwhelmed and asked Lindsey if she
would take him in for training.
She did a wonderful job with Sandman! I noticed changes almost right
away, especially on the ground. Within a few weeks she was riding
him and after 3 months I brought him home a changed horse, more
mature and also more trusting. I’m working with him on the ground
now with no fear and have a new understanding of how to respond to
horse behavior that I learned from Lindsey. And riding him is
wonderful – even my husband isn’t worried now.
And I think that’s the most important thing that having Sandman with
Lindsey. She trains the horse, but she will also train the handler which
is so very important!! As I watched her with Sand I found that her
training of the horse is very patient and individualized, giving each
different horse the time and the type of training that they need. She
also tries to keep in mind what job the owner has for the horse so that
she can get the horse started in the right direction.
I will and have recommended others to send their horses to Lindsey
for training! She does a wonderful job.

"Lindsey is one of the most giving and nicest
people I have ever met. She is a wonderful
teacher. I have learned so much in the last 2
years. They have been truly a great
experience. She has a great since of humor
and can always put a smile on your face. I
look up to Lindsey in so many ways. My
love for horses has grown so much stronger.
I have grown so much in my riding, and I
have also grown a lot spiritually. Lindsey is
one of my best friends. I love coming to the
barn and sharing stories with each other. I
would definitely recommend Lindsey to
anyone. She is one of my heroes."
Thank you Lindsey for everything you do

Lindsey is one of the nicest people you will ever have the pleasure of knowing. Her 6 week stay here at WildeWood Farm was a delight; we
only wished she lived closer. Her honesty, willingness to pitch in, and 'down home' thoughtfulness make her a rare treasure indeed. Her skills
with horses are exceptional and her drive to learn is awe inspiring. If she doesn't know how to fix a problem, she'll search out the problem
until she solves it.
Lindsey is a person of her word, if she tells you something, you can count on it being done. She's a go getter and if you hang around her for
even a short time you'll see why we all love her. You, your children, and your horses will all benefit from being around this exceptional
woman."

"I would like to share my experience that I have had with Lindsey to all
concerned or interested.
My seven yr old girl had been taking riding lessons with a different riding
instructor and it just seemed like I was traveling a good distance after
work only to watch my daughter do the same thing over and over. So low
and behold we found out about Lindsey and she was able to fit us into her
schedule and each lesson became interesting and encouraging for both
me, and my little rider. My daughter would look so forward to lesson
time, lesson time went from “do I have to” to “Mom remember lessons
this week”. Lindsey is a very creative instructor and has an insight of when
to change something to make it more challenging or interesting for the
rider and for the horse. I highly recommend her as a riding instructor for
both beginner riders or even more advanced.
Then from there I saw how she worked with the horses, learning to
understand each one and when I found myself an owner of a 2 yr old
gelding that was broke but not broke enough for myself, I asked her to
ride him for me and figure him out for a two week period. She took this
young, energetic horse and was able to get to know and understand him
and explain to me how he was broke and what his thinking patterns were.
She rode with so much ease and knew exactly what he was thinking or
needed. She predicted his patterns and was right in line with her
assessment of him. After the time period was over I left feeling that I made
the best choice in having Lindsey ride and assess him for me and finish his
training. She has a natural touch and understanding for the horse and for
the rider. She helped me understand the horse and to figure out if he was
what I needed or wanted. Every time I watched her work with him I
could see how he trusted and understood her, and that is what we all try
to achieve in our horsemanship. Thank you Lindsey."

"I would like to tell everyone about the wonderful
times my daughter, Kayla, has taking lessons from
Lindsey. She has grown in spirit and spiritually through
Lindsey. It is very comforting as a parent to know that
your child is in such great care at Treasure2Farm. The
horses are so gentle and really enjoy the children. The
camps are a great thing for the kids also. They play
games and just have fun. My daughter was scared of
horses when she first started because of a bad
experience and now they are her life. She lives and
breathes them. Thank you to Lindsey for helping my
daughter grow in some many ways through you
teachings and through your horses."
