    Review of Natural Horsemanship, April 02, 2010

    I have wanted to ride horses since I was a little girl, and now - many, many years later - I am doing it. I have been taking lessons with Robyn and Michelle since last August. It is what I look forward to all week long, and it ends far too soon. I wish I could be out at Horse Haven every single day. The horses are wonderful, Robyn and Michelle are great teachers (Robyn has a staggering wealth of knowledge), and the stables/barn are kept beautifully and immaculately clean (thanks to Nate and all his helpers). I especially appreciate that I am learning natural horsemanship. In fact, this is what made me seek out Horse Haven as a place to finally, after years of dreaming about it, take riding lessons. We learn to listen to and respect the horse, to get in tune with the horse, to move with the horse and become one. We learn to become more aware of our bodies and how to use them correctly. I have a long, long way to go before I can even call myself a decent rider, but I am happy to have found the place to make this journey. I am finally living my dream. Inside, I am that little girl that always wanted to ride horses. And I am doing it at the best possible place. I would also like to add a note about Dawn Spiegelberg of BodyWise, who not only massages the horses at Horse Haven, but works with people too. Robyn referred me to Dawn for body issues hindering my dismounting. Dawn has helped me tremendously through her work with me directly and with the excercises she's given me to use at home.

    Review of Horse Haven at Bear Creek, April 02, 2010

    I've been taking lessons at HHBC since the summer of 09. Robyn teaches you so much more than just how to get on a horse, she teaches you how to be a good partner with your horse, how to communicate with your horse and how easy it is to confuse your horse when you as the rider don't know what you are doing! Robyn really wants you to think about every aspect of your riding from how you put on the bridle to how you sit in the saddle to how you hold your reins. She has a genuine love of horses and of this amazing relationship that develops between rider and horse.

    Review of Horse Haven at Bear Creek, April 02, 2010

    For two years now I have been riding at horse haven. At the beginning I was lacking confidence, knowledge and balance during riding. Through the excellent instruction of Robyn and her horses I have gained all of those things and so much more. Horse Haven's riding program is based in natural horsemanship. They really focus on building a deep connection with the horses that is full of respect and appreciation.

    Through Horse Havens leadership I have gained confidence in myself. This has allowed me to better communicate to and feel the horses, which in the end has greatly improved my balance and overall riding.. I have gained a better understanding of how my body and its muscles work. As well as how my mind processes information.

    Horse Haven , Robyn and all the staff are incredible!!!. They have created an environment that is fun, exciting, full of learning, clean and always safe.

    Review of Horse Haven at Bear Creek, April 01, 2010

    What a wonderful place to take riding lessons. They cater to both adults and children, and, as an adult, I have used the skills I learned in the lessons I've taken here to get me through rides all over the world: from Africa to Europe to a bit closer to home. I highly recommend both Robyn and Michelle to anyone wanting to learn or improve their riding.

    Review of From Rail to Trail, March 28, 2010

    1. Having lost self-confidence after being thrown from a horse and sustaining injuries, finding Robyn Smith as a trainer has been the most healing and informative experience. She understands the horse-human relationship deeply and translates this in her teaching/coaching which produces graceful, healthy and aware riding in both horse and rider- the latter especially. I highly recommend her for training in dressage or all-around training if you are serious about horses and becoming the best horseperson you can be.
