Testimonials
Julie-Anne, Toronto
“I came across Ev's website while browsing the internet, *very* dissatisfied with my very first two riding lessons at a “reputable” stable in the GTA. I did not want to simply jump on the back of an animal I did not understand, I wanted to learn how to safely work with horses by understanding their behaviour and gaining their trust and respect. When I first spoke with Ev over the phone, she instantaneously knew what I was looking for. Within a few days, I was in a round pen under her wing, learning the art of horsemanship from the ground up.
Ev's passion for horses and enthusiasm for natural horsemanship are highly contagious. The fact I *entirely trust her judgement and instincts* allows me to learn without being fearful. Though she isn't afraid to push you out of your comfort zone, she will always make sure to first instil the self-confidence necessary for the task. Frame of mind is everything. She takes a creative approach to teaching traditional skills. Lessons are never boring or repetitive: the location of the lessons at the Freedom Horse Club, and possibility of membership, allow endless possibilities. From cantering through the forest to barrel racing to jumping a hunter course, Ev finds “real life” applications to reinforce any theory she introduces.
By nature, I am often overly cautious and sometimes even fearful. I give full credit to Ev's instruction for giving me the confidence to go on an amazing riding tour of Iceland. It's not riding in circles in an arena that one finds the strength to face mountain climbing on a horse.”
