“Claudia Harris has been one of my favorite trainers throughout my riding career. She is extremely knowledgeable in several disciplines and she helped me increase my dressage skill immensely. She is super friendly and caring as well. Loved my time with her and gained alot of experience working with her.”

Holly Alagood

“The clear, palpable depth and extent of Claudia's knowledge combined with her calm, direct and positive delivery was magic. She had a way of pushing me just a little bit past what I thought I could do every lesson. I was always so happy after every ride. She gave me confidence, and made me a better rider and a better horsewoman.”

Erin Schult

“Claudia has a phenomenal knowledge of horses and riders alike and pairs it with empathy to establish a united front for rider and horse. I felt my riding technique and confidence both improve under her generous guidance and I would jump at the chance to have another lesson with her, but sadly I live too far away. Thanks Claudia for your tremendous support and taking my riding to a whole new level.

“Claudia makes learning fun by coordinating group events and encouraging participation to create a sense of community amongst her students.”

Donna Saatman

“Knowledge, experience and attentiveness are just a few of Claudia’s qualities that make lessons with her extremely productive. Claudia is a true professional who helped me become a better rider.”

Deb VanRaalten

“ I was an adult beginner rider when I took lessons from Claudia. Her method of instruction is structured and classical which is hard to find these days. She will give you and/or your horse the solid foundation needed upon which you can pursue training without any “holes.”

I have always found her to be very kind and encouraging. Her love and compassion for horses is obvious from the moment you meet her.”

Marina Taylor

“Claudia Harris is a wonderful Equine Riding Instructor. She is very knowledgeable and teach the rider to have a strong foundation in riding. She not only teach my daughter Dressage but also introduced her to Pony Club, and fox hunting. My daughter has enjoyed riding with Claudia very much!”

Marna Egyed

“Claudia is a coach that is able to identify areas for improvement to help you reach your goals. A gifted rider and teacher

Gail Adams.

“My daughter took lessons with Claudia for many years. Compared to other horseback riding teachers, we enjoyed Claudia's knowledge and expertise from a German equestrian perspective a lot more.”

Michaela Pribil

“I was a riding student of Claudia Harris for many years. I cannot say enough about how she created visuals for me to continue to improve my skill and my confidence. I can emphatically endorse Claudia as your riding coach..”

Simone Mazzeo

“What I find most impressive about Claudia’s riding instruction is that she is able to understand intuitively both rider and horse. She sees every rider and horse as an individual, regardless of the level of training. This allows both to progress at the correct pace, and in a way that ensures appropriate correction that advances rider and horse. Her approach is at the same time demanding and encouraging, honest and nonjudgmental. As her student, my riding improved markedly, and I can highly recommend Claudia as an exceptional instructor.”

Suzanne Price

“Claudia is a patient, and extremely knowledgeable instructor. My horse is a Mustang, and he and I both lacked confidence when riding together. Claudia took the time to build both of us into a more confident riding pair, and we are so bonded now! I would highly recommend her as an instructor.”

Lauren Coleman

“I could not be more pleased with Claudia’s style of teaching. She takes the time to explain exactly what she wants you to do and why, and how doing the action will improve the horse and yourself. If one explanation doesn’t work, she gladly explains in a different way until you get it. She is also conscientious of how you and your horse are feeling so doesn’t push either of you too hard or make you do anything you are extremely uncomfortable with. She encourages you to push yourself in the right ways. After a bad fall, my horse and I were both shaken and with Claudia‘s help we are back to riding with more confidence!”
