“Erika had my horse for two weeks training at her property and she worked on her in all aspects of training. My horse has required a variety of experiences due to her greenness and Erika exposed her to situations in her training that increased confidence.
I highly recommend Erika for any aspects of horsemanship, both on and off the horse. I will continue to use Erika’s expertise for many months to come!””
