Testimonials
"After attending a biomechanics demonstration conducted by Colleen Kelly, I implemented some of her techniques in my rides and noticed an improvement.
My horse has been much more round, supple, responsive and most of all, forward. We have had three really good rides in a row.
Now that I’ve incorporated these techniques, we’ve both been enjoying our rides more."
"A friend of mine attended Amy Vanner's Jumping Position Clinic at the Southern Equine Expo.
They said it was a 'game changer' & that they have never seen anyone teach jumping so easily. The 'myth-busting' was also mind-blowing.
Amy Vanner has influenced the next generation of equestrians to do better!"
I immediately appreciated Amy's knowledge, experience, and professionalism. I love that she doesn't get hung upon the classical vs. natural horsemanship debate, and instead focuses on good horsemanship. I love difficult horses who are particular about their treatment and who handles them, and I love that Amy does too.
My best friend and I made a 4-hour round trip for a Western Dressage lesson with Amy. I've been riding and competing for 40 years and teaching riding for 30 years. I left my lesson with 5 exercises that significantly improved my ride.
Now, I'm getting to work with Amy again as I pursue my Level 1 Biomechanics certification. Amy is a great horsewoman, professional, and person. I am honored to be a client.
