DEB CATALDO

I had a late start into the world of horses. It wasn't until age 50, when I saw an opportunity to own my first horse. I went for it! My age wasn't going to keep me from a life long dream. In July of '09, frustrated over my lack of success in finding a good trainer, I began taking riding lessons with Becca GT at PondView. It didn't take long to realize that her expertise and effective style of teaching was what I needed to progress with my riding. My horse Tye became a new resident at Pondview and together we began work in Becca's lesson program. I'm thrilled that it's been steady progress since then! My most memorable moment? It's difficult to nail it down to just one , because my entire experience at PVEC has been very positive and filled with many achievements. I'm proud to be associated with PVEC!

LAURA HAUSER

I'm 15 and been riding at PondView for over 7 years. My favorite moment with Pondview definitely has to be winning first place at the Woodstock Fair this year on Heartley in Senior Horse Pleasure out of 26 riders. I was not expecting it at all since this was my first year riding in the fair and showing against so many other riders. My mom had even given me a talk before the weekend started about how I shouldn't be disappointed if I didn't place in a class. I still get chills just thinking about that win!

JULIA EDDY

I'm 15 and been at Pondview for 7 years. Sometimes I'll place well in a class with my mare, sometimes I won't. But when I go into a class and deliver a ride that I know I am proud of even if we didn't place, that is what I would consider my favorite moment on a horse. Without Pondview and Becca GT, I'm not sure if I would have gotten to this point in my riding career and be able to say I have so many favorite moments.

JEN LAPORTE

I've been riding at Pondview Equestrian Center for 15 years with some time off in between. Some of my most cherished memories were at this farm. I started out ridding at PVEC as a Junior rider and had many successful show seasons competing on the Arabian A Circuit. During my years competing as a JTR at PVEC, I was able to learn from Becca some of the "ins and outs" of training horses and instructing. Becca provides thorough instruction with attention to detail, while keeping in mind that the main reason why we ride is to have fun. After taking some time off, I've returned to PVEC as an adult rider and part- time instructor at the barn. I continue to learn more every day and enjoy the comradeship at the barn. I'm looking forward to many more exciting times at PVEC.

ERIN FULLUM

I love that even though I'm not one of the clients that competes in shows, Becca still kicks my butt in lessons to make sure I do everything right! I love the people I ride with, we all learn a lot but have so much fun with each other!
