"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible journey Maura has taken my daughter on as her horseback riding instructor. She has dedication, expertise, and genuine passion for both horses and teaching, and it has had an immeasurable impact on my daughter's life. From the very first day my daughter stepped into the stables, it was clear that she had found more than just a riding instructor; she found a mentor, a role model, and a friend in Maura. Her patience and ability to connect with my daughter on a personal level, went above and beyond instruction and she was able to foster a relationship built on trust and respect. Maura was able to see my daughter's potential beyond her disability and was able to provide an inclusive and supportive environment where she felt a sense of belonging. My daughter not only developed as a rider under Maura's guidance, but as an individual as well. The life lessons she has learned through the challenges and triumphs in the arena will undoubtedly shape her character for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend Maura as a horseback riding instructor to any future rider. Anyone fortunate enough to be under Maura's tutelage is in the hands of an exceptional educator and mentor."

"There are trainers and then there is Maura. She was always there to meet us with a smile. Maura helped our daughter find her strength and confidence. In just 1 semester she learned more about control, terminology and horsemanship than she had in a year with other trainers."
