"Siri does a great job tapping into the hidden talents of my horse. She brought him to a new level of fitness, correct movement and elegance. After Siri has been on my horse, I have a totally different feeling ~ a horse who is on my aids, ready to please, and where lasting training takes place. Siri brings something special to each lesson. Sometimes our lessons are about my riding; my position, my requirements of the horse or my balance. Sometimes our lessons are only about what Caramello needs that day and sometimes, it's just about having fun with a friend. I am grateful to Siri for everything she has done for both me and my equine buddy, Caramello."

"I hate my lessons with Siri.......I hate that they seem to end too quickly. I hate that I have to wait until the next week to take another one. I hate that I can't take one every day.
As an adult amateur who came to riding later in life, I've looked for years to find an instructor who will actually listen to me. All my previous instructors (some very good and qualified; some not good) focused on what I could manage to get the horse to do, with no regard to whether I was doing it correctly. I needed a RIDING instructor, not a horse trainer. When I first spoke
with Siri about what I wanted as a rider, she listened (what a concept); and then we began to work together as a team on my skills as a rider, not a passenger who kicks and squeezes the horse into position. We started on some of Hearthstone's school horses, and then I decided to buy my own 'school horse'. We talked about what I wanted, Siri listened; and then she found me a perfect partner, Zabadak. If I could have a dollar for every bad match I've seen of horse and rider, where the trainer convinces the client to buy the wrong horse, I could retire. Now, back to that horse trainer stuff: Siri can do it all. To watch her long line a horse is to watch an artist at work. And then watch her show a horse, and you will see the same thing. A great instructor has to be able to talk to both the horse and the rider, from the ground and from the horse. I have found that great instructor, finally, in Siri."

"Siri has a passion for both teaching and riding. She has helped me come so far in such a short amount of time and is very focused not only on your seat, but also on your connection and relationship with your horse. She recently matched
me with a fabulous horse and I've never been happier - just today I had someone compliment me on how well I got along with this horse and I thanked Siri for introducing us to each other."
