Currently leasing our lesson horse Jaeda

I have been taking lessons with Monica Meyette for over 2 years. I chose Natural Horse Savvy because of Monica's commitment to rescue, rehabilitation and gentle horsemanship techniques. After recovering from surgery and chemo for breast cancer I decided to finally learn to ride horses.  Learning to ride as a mid-50s adult is so much fun. It takes longer to learn riding skills as an adult, but it's delightful to enjoy the process with horse, instructor and student. The barn atmosphere is supportive. The students are from all ages and I have made many friends. Monica's teaching style is positive and individualized, skilled and professional. Her advocacy and care for the horses is outstanding. I take lessons and have a part time lease with one of the horses: big beautiful Jaeda, the Percheron. Grooming the horses and taking them for walks or trail rides to thank them is fulfilling. My lesson and lease time is the highlight of every week.  I recommend Monica as a teacher and role model for riding.  She is a wonderful horsewoman.  "Thanks, Monica". - Avonelle Hamilton
