Olivia's Introduction

I'm 11 years old and have been riding for 5 months. Already I've accomplished many things like mounting my horse, trotting, leading the horse around, and I just loped for my first time not long ago. When I ride I feel safe, knowing Jessica and Linda are always looking out for me, even if they're in a lesson. When I first loped Jessica said not to try and steer, so I trusted her and didn't. I feel like I can do many things thanks to Jessica's help. This is also the cleanest facility I've ever seen. When I first came here, I saw a few flies but I didn't smell a thing! The Tucson Equestrian Center doesn't just teach you how to groom, clean, and ride your horse, they teach you true horsemanship and for that, thank you TEC. You have helped me accomplish my goals and set new ones.I can't wait to learn more!

Keep up the good work, Olivia. When I was your age I would have given anything to learn as you are learning. I hope you will post more to let us know of your progress. Excited about the progess you are making!

Olivia, I am so impressed with how much progress you have made with your horsemanship and personally. You are such a wonderful girl and your smile is contagious. Remember- your playing small does not serve the world, go out, speak loud, ride hard!

Olivia, I am amazed by your progress and so happy that my daughters have a new friend in you. You are an amazing, interesting girl with an outstanding sense of humor. I couldn't ask for better friends than the ones that my girls have with the other girls in the Pony Posse. Thanks for sharing and I hope you will share more about your progress!
