Estella came in as one of our youngest non~verbal riders. In the 3 years she has been riding with us it has been so amazing to watch her progress in not only her use of words but in self control through the bonds she has built with
the horses. Once mounted Estella works on excersises strengthing her muscles and is our best sitting trot young rider. She has also learned to use her words to communicate with her horses and express herself in her lessons.
