Testimonials



I am a beginning adult rider and have been taking lessons with Loretta Arey at 20/20 Horsemanship since June of this year.  She is a patient and supportive teacher who shares her knowledge of horses with her students.  She stresses safety first and foremost, understanding the nature of the horse, and a balanced seat.  Her goal is for the student to increase her skill level but also how to understand, communicate, and become a partner with the horse.  I have to say that she has not only taught me well, increased my confidence level, but more importantly enriched my life and given me the opportunity to truly realize a long-held dream of mine.

Thank you,
J.D. adult student

My name is Laurie Clark and I'm a new student of Loretta's at 20/20 Horsemanship. I signed up for 8 lessons and am almost to the end. I have learned so much but have so much more to learn. Although I had horses back in Texas I never rode english until I met Loretta.  Gemstone is my horse well not mine as in ownership but mine when I go for lessons. She's amazing and I love spending time with both her and Loretta. When I signed up for lessons I told Loretta I don't want to just come to learn to ride, I want to learn everything. I have to say my most favorite part is the ground work. Gemstone is such a beautiful horse with a beautiful manner and loves it when I bring carrots. I love going to my lessons not only because I love being around horses but I love learning about horses. And not to mention I love Gemstone and spending time with her. I feel blessed because through this I'm getting to know Gemstone but I also feel like I've acquired a good friend in Loretta.
