Testimonials

 

“My daughter transferred to MNE about a year ago and we couldn’t be more delighted with the progress she has made and the instruction she is receiving at MNE.  My daughter loves all three trainers and feels appropriately challenged in not only her development as a rider but also overall horsemanship and horse related knowledge base.  In addition, the lesson ponies are fabulous at MNE - so good in fact that my daughter was able to win Circuit Champion in cross rail equitation on one of them!  Everyone at the stable has been very welcoming to us and we look forward to each session.”
