Bridget’s Testimonial
“Ellen Tillman is a great dressage trainer and coach. She is committed to helping you and your horse improve and works hard to help you achieve a path to better riding. She is in the arena watching closely and guiding the ride and horse during each lesson. She focuses on developing the core basics that are necessary to advance up the dressage levels and reach the desired progress. She has a good eye and understands correct movement. I have appreciated Ellen’s insights and corrections. She challenges me to be a better and more effective rider, which in turn helps my horse move as I intend.”
Nancy’s Testimonial
“I have been riding horses for over seventy years now, (amazing!) and in that time I have had many, many trainers in many places. Some were good, some were not so good, and a very few were absolutely great. Ellen is one of these. She is incredibly perceptive, and can tell not only what's going on with me as a rider, but what's going on in the horse's mind. I am making wonderful progress, and enjoying each ride enormously. She is kind, cheerful, inventive, hard-working, and everything you always wanted in a trainer. You really feel like you can achieve your goals, and become a better rider. At the end of the lesson, I always have a ridiculous grin on my face. I feel lucky to work with Ellen.”
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
