Ashley competes in local jumping competitions and is looking forward to owning her own horse soon. Heather Grissom, another Marshall student, has been riding for eight years. She also noticed an improvement and has learned to enjoy jumping more since taking lessons. She has a more positive attitude about it. She's a happy person and she loves to ride.
All trainers are different.
Some can be really mean, but Kate taught me how to communicate with my horse really well. Grissom competes in multiple jumping competitions and with the recent purchase of her own horse, Calypso, she hopes to do even better. Not all of Marshall's students want to compete, but she insists they work toward a goal and learn to partner with their horse. You have to figure out how to get that horse to do what you want it to do. You have to ask, not tell.
