Feedback from Clients and Colleagues

 

Beth is a very talented and knowledgeable rider, teacher and trainer. Her riding is lovely and she has taught my two girls beautiful equitation as well. The girls and horses have been working with Beth for about two years and she is always kind and patient with all of them. When training the horses Beth thinks about the whole horse, both the physical and the mental aspects needed for a safe and willing animal. I am very pleased with the progress both the children and horses have made.


Sincerely,
Brenda Barnard

 


Beth,

I want to let you know how fortunate we are to have you working with our horses. Over the last few years, you have consistently proved yourself to be professional, reliable, kind and effective. Both Mikie and Calico have had their "issues," but we've seen continuous progress with both horses. You've managed to do wonders with Mikie our sensitive opinionated Thoroughbred and as I've told you before, he's likes you which says volumes! Calico our young green mare just recently went to her first dressage show and did better then we ever expected! Mostly, I appreciate that you take the time to recognize that my horses have unique needs and personalities. I always feel that when they're left in your hands, that they will be treated with care and respect. Lastly, the insight that you are able to offer my 14 year when she is taking lessons is invaluable and we're looking forward to next years show season!!

Thanks Beth!

What I learned from Bethany is that QUALITY is #1. For example: It is
no use trying do a circle spiraling in at the trot if you have not
established a connected, rhythmic trot. I will always be grateful for
that reminder.

My horse and I are so lucky to have found Beth. I contacted Beth because I needed help with my horse on trail. With Beth's training, my horse and I are both confident and having fun on the trail!

We have now moved on to other challenges and we are still working with Beth so we can look pretty in the arena.

Beth possesses an intuitive knowledge of horses, complemented by a breadth of formal training and expertise. She conveys this in a professional yet friendly and understandable manner.

Beth is organized and develops a realistic plan for you and your horse, according to you and your horse's needs, abilities and personalities.

In the process, you and your horse will establish a lasting trust and friendship in each other. I have nothing but great things to say about Bethany!

I was introduced to Beth by our friend in common, Peggy Martin. Small world with such good people in it. Beth was riding Peggy's horses and Peggy was very happy with the changes Beth was making for them. Then Beth came to our clinic with Mark Rashid last year. I kept her card, and when life got too busy for me to ride my own ponies, I called her. I wanted to learn more about fundamental dressage and jumping! Beth is my gal.
Beth specializes in hunters, jumpers, and dressage fundamentals, equine conditioning, as well as the basic education of the young horse. Whitney is progressing nicely. He is more balanced and comfortable in his gaits, he is learning to round up under his saddle, physically he is developing correctly and becoming stronger, more supple, and more confident. We are working together; she is teaching me dressage and helping Whitney as I learn.She will come to you, her fees are reasonable, she has a big heart for horses and she is a very capable instructor.

Dear Bethany...Thank you so much for all of the training you've given Champagne from October to April. You are an extremely well-qualified trainer, and above all your quiet and patient manner is a blessing.

Hi Beth...you are so generous with the time you spend with the horses and your clients; I really notice and appreciate your ethics.

Thanks again Beth… Lonnie Kitch

 

My experience with horse trainer Bethany Wallace has been and continues to be an informative, productive, and enjoyable experience. Bethany is skilled and experienced in training techniques and equine behavior. She is also able to articulate these techniques and behaviors in a clear and concise manner. Bethany's sensitivity to the uniqueness and individual needs of each horse is reflected in her caring approach to the training process.

Bethany Wallace responded to our advertisement for experienced riders to exercise our horses. I liked Beth immediately at our initial interview, and welcomed her to come back to ride. One of the horses Beth rode for us was Against the Wind, a High-Prelim Show jumper Hanoverian mare, formerly owned and shown by Susie Hutchison. This mare had been pastured as a broodmare for several years, and Beth helped us bring her back to the routine of riding and being handled by people. This horse eventually became a lesson horse, thanks to Beth and the confidence in people she helped instill in this mare. Beth handled her wonderfully, calming her down and making her comfortable again under saddle and with people. During the several months Beth was at our barn, we observed her to be an excellent rider, as well as conscientious and professional in every way. She took the time to groom the horses well both before and after riding, and she also demonstrated her knowledge of warming up before, and completely cooling down the horses after a work-out. She always cleaned up after herself and the horses for which she was responsible. The trainers at our barn also commented on her excellent riding ability and horse care skills. What I really appreciate about Beth is her respect for my authority as well as her kind treatment of other people at our barn. She was reliable, and she contacted me if for some reason she could not make it out to ride. I would trust Beth with the responsibility for the care and riding of any of our horses.

Bethany has been working with my mustang, Jerico, and I for several months now. It has been a wonderful experience for us both. I was very concerned about finding a trainer that both I and my sensitive, wild horse could feel comfortable with. Bethany has far exceeded my expectations in this and in all regards. She is very quiet and well natured in working with my horse, and although extremely knowledgeable, welcomes my thoughts and input, allowing me to be a part of this process...I am extremely grateful for the wonderful experience working with Bethany has been, and cannot recommend her enough for your equine needs.

Beth... thanks again, and looking forward to next week. It was really nice to hear positive comments about the horses, and I learned more in that one day about them than the whole 3 months
since I bought the first. It was really nice to see them being ridden, especially Galahad--he's so pretty and stallion like---and its nice to hear positive comments about Fin being good---
and forward and not lazy--I spent a lot of time researching to invest in the best quality 3 year old I could (almost 4).
It was the most positive experience...I've had since I got my horses. You have a gentle and kind way with the horses---and that's something that has been missing...thanks again!
