This was an experience I will never forget! I was skeptical that an activity with horses could to anything to improve my business, but the women's group I worked with did just that. Ellen creates a safe, welcoming, no pressure environment that allows for reflection and conversation in ways that just can't happen in a Zoom room or an office. There's something special about petting, brushing, even just observing these big, beautiful creatures that forces you to be present and think about things differently. It's hard to explain, but I'm certain that bringing the whole team out would lead to better collaboration and better ideas because working with Ellen and the horses would allow them to get to know each other and how they work in new ways.

Ellen is simply fabulous. She is so knowledgeable and patient with our children who take regular riding lessons with her. Her horses are sweet and well trained, and have had a tremendous impact on our kids. They are always eager for their next lesson and truly love their time with Ellen and the horses.

Ellen is a phenomenal teacher. Both of my daughters look forward to riding lessons and have learned so much from Ellen over the years. One of my girls is very cautious and Ellen is always amazingly patient and has helped to build her confidence. I can’t say enough good things about Leg Up Learning Solutions.

My daughter has been riding with Ellen for just over a year now and it has been such an amazing experience. The space they create is safe, welcoming, and loving. The horses are, of course, wonderful. They all have their own personalities and it has been a joy to get to know them as well. I highly recommend Leg Up Learning!!!

Ellen is a wonderful instructor. Her horses are so sweet, delightful, and a pleasure to ride. I love taking lessons here, as an adult that hasn’t ridden in many years, Ellen has made getting back in the saddle a truly wonderful experience.

Ellen has so much equine knowledge. I loved coming to visit and learn about horses - being able to pet and feed them was fun as well ask asking all my questions. I need to visit again !
