  Review of Intro to Seamless Riding, July 29, 2008

  I am a 50+ woman beginning a new life, retired from the competitive biotech world, with a daughter off to college and just recently downsized our modest city home to a small farm in Montana. It may be rather cliché but I am convinced that be it fate, or God’s grace, we meet people along our journey that were “meant to be.” In my case, that would be Robyn Smith of Horse Haven.

  I had the opportunity to participate in one of Robyn’s Natural Horsemanship weekend clinics and it changed the way I viewed the relationship between horse and human. Robyn is high energy and has the amazing ability to compress valuable horse and life lessons in to a short amount of time. With all of that energy, this petite woman can move huge horses with just a quiet hand gesture and a deep breath! Robyn fosters a safe and friendly environment where even a newbie, like myself, feels comfortable learning to speak horse.

  Robyn was willing to put together an accelerated training program with the foundational requirements I would need to find a good horse match, as well as the education I would need to be its qualified keeper. In our short training time together, I fell in love with one of her school horses, a little Haflinger named Honey, and made the commitment to purchase and cherish her forever more. We are now happily living on 5 acres outside of Missoula where Honey and I do groundwork daily, ride, and just hang out! She even lies down on command, enjoys a massage, and listens to me as I tell her how great she is!

  Robyn’s vast knowledge, Natural Horsemanship training, and willingness to design a program to meet my needs will be eternally appreciated!

  Review of Intro to Seamless Riding, July 29, 2008

  I have been taking lessons from Robyn Smith for closing on two years. I bought a young green horse and I myself had not ridden in years and came from a totally "cowboy" background in Colorado. I knew that riding had changed substantially since I was a child and knew I needed help with my young green boy.

  Robyn has brought both of us along to the point that we are currently starting to trail ride and we are safe as partners.

  I feel very grateful and lucky to have had the opportunity to have found such a patient knowledgable coach as Robyn Smith.
