AMANDA LYNCH
OWNER/INSTRUCTOR/TRAINER
As a dedicated mother of two boys and the wife of an Army veteran, I have spent the past 13 years owning horses, which has ignited my passion for helping others discover their love for these magnificent animals. I focus on providing guidance and education to support individuals in achieving their riding goals. With experience in western disciplines and liberty work, I launched my program two years ago with the aim of sharing my enthusiasm for horses with as many people as possible. I prioritize creating fun and enjoyable experiences for my clients, and I am eager to see the program expand while connecting with the wonderful community that supports it.

EMMA MENDOZA
TRAINER AND INSTRUCTOR
I have had a passion for horsemanship for as long as I can remember, beginning my journey in the saddle at the age of four. My experience spans both Western and English riding, with significant involvement in local and regional 4-H competitions as well as national events with the WPCSA. I have honed my skills in various disciplines, including western pleasure, halter horsemanship/showmanship, rodeo, and basic English riding/showmanship. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering an understanding of the horse first, emphasizing clear communication between horse and rider.
