Name: Kelly Foote

Years at PVEC: 1 year 2 months

“Riding at PondView has been one of the best things to happen to me.  Being able to call myself a member of this farm truly means a lot.  The people here are the best friends anyone could ever ask for.  When you ride here, you become part of a family and that is one of the best feelings.  My most memorable moment so far was winning my first equitation class at W. Springfield.  Everyone was so excited, it is one of my happiest moments experienced while riding.”

"I love riding at Pondview.  Becca is an excellent trainer and every lesson there is always something new we learn.  I love the friends I have at PVEC.  They are nice, fun to be with, and they treat me like family.  Shows are always fun and everyone is always supportive.  My two most memorable moments would be when I won my first blue ribbon on my horse Nike and when I went to Regionals and received "Top Five" honors in Sport Horse U/S with Heartbreaquer.  I couldn't have done it without Becca's instruction and the support of my friends at Pondview."

"What I like most about Pondview is their family-like atmosphere. 

Becca's training is remarkable, she somehow connects horse and rider so they are one. 

My most memorable moment is my blue ribbon victory lap at The Woodstock Fair, I just couldn't stop smiling!"

"I ride at Pondview

because of the quality

instruction I receive. I've

learned so much in the

past year and have come

so far in my riding than I ever thought possible. Becca's training is straightforward and disciplined but always fun. I like the fact that I have the opportunity to show at the "A" level as well as local horse shows. Besides the training I receive the people here are amazing.

There is always a sense of teamwork among everyone and I couldn’t ask to ride at a better stable with a better group of people."

"Pondview has made me into the accomplished rider that I am today, as well as helped me become the person I am. Along with professional instruction, you will find a sense of family. I love being able to go ride with a group of girls, but also being able to go hang out with my horse by myself. With Pondview I have experienced countless memories, incredible instruction, and many trips to the winner circle."

“What I like best about PVEC is that the instruction is great and very helpful. The horses are so well trained and fun to ride. It has a non-scary environment and I look forward to my lesson every week. If I could, I would be down there 24/7!  My most memorable moment was when I got Division Champion in my first PondView Schooling Show riding Kaz!”

"I love to ride at Pondview because Becca is always helping me to

become a better rider.

This year probably has been one

of me and my horse, Taylor's

best years because we have

had Becca here giving us

instruction to become a better team.

Pondview has challenged me

to improve as a rider."

Many Thanks,  Julia

     "My name is Sabrina Charron and I have been riding at Pondview for 1 year now! I love it! Miss Danielle is so pretty. I love to be around the horses and entering horse shows and winning ribbons. Its really fun to ride horses. My favorite thing to do is to canter. I love all the horses at Pond view. I hope when I get older, I can own my own horse and be like Becca. My favorite horse is Kaz. He is very comfortable. Its fun to jump with Sunny. He is so cute and he knows it! I love horseback riding. My mom says that Pondview makes riding fun but still challenges me. Horses Rock!"

"I love to ride Lizzie. My riding teacher is Danielle. I love Pondview because everyone there is very nice and I love to look at the beautiful horses. When I go to lessons my mom brings my puppy Clover to watch. When  Clover sees the horses she just wants to play with them because she thinks they are big dogs. At Pondview there is a goat and once I saw it on its crate!"
 

 

        Name: Laura Hauser

Years at PVEC: 5 years

 "Some of the most memorable   moments in my life have been during my 4 and a half years at Pondview, my first lesson, my first ribbon, my first jump, and my first championship.  Everything here has been unforgettable!  During my time at Pondview I have learned so much through Becca's teaching.  One of my favorite things about riding is when everything finally "clicks" and I understand what I have to do, and with Becca's instruction, many things have "clicked" and I have become a better rider."

 

 

Name: Kim Lussier

"I love the variety of things we do in our lessons.  Whether working on a pattern, going for a trail ride or schooling O/F, there is always something new to learn.  My most memorable moment at PondView was my first time riding in the coliseum at my first "A" show this past spring."

 

 

 

 

 

Name:  Misty Baker

     Years at PVEC: 4

Misty is currently 11 years old and has been riding at Pondview for 4 years now. Misty says her most memorable moment this year has been the 2008 Pondview Show. Misty said " I had so much fun at the Pondview Show, Sara and I were 1st and 2nd place all day long. It was especially great when I won Day End Championship for my division and even better when I won Series Champion for the PVEC show series."  Misty's mom Julie adds, "My child has been riding and showing with PondView for 3 years and it has been the best experience we've ever had.  Becca is an amazing trainer and she is very attentive and supportive at the shows.  I could not imagine sending my child anywhere else.  PondView is simply the best!!"

What do you like best about PondView? 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!

"I ride at Pondview because I always feel like I am becoming a better rider. Also, because I own an Arabian, it is a great connection to the RIAHA.  The lessons are always fresh and fun, and I enjoy the family-like atmosphere.  My most memorable moment at PondView was when I finally understood the concept of 'collection'."
