  • Linda is obviously very knowledgeable about horses however, I don't recommend her for young children. Her style is brusque and did not match with our families' style. I purchased a groupon for lessons for my daughter (7) and her friend for Christmas. While scheduling the lessons, Linda did not make a great first impression on me by coming across as judgmental while I was on the phone with her. She told me that the reason that kids lose the love of horses is that parents "squash their dreams." When I explained that I was bringing my daughter's friend, she stated that she was surprised that another parent would let me bring their child without the parent there. "I wouldn't let someone take my child without checking the place out," she stated. As a mom, I am often taking my children's friends to activities without the parents being there, so I was taken aback for someone to say this. I think I would have understood if we needed to sign waivers or if she had told me the other mom needed to be there to help, but this was not what was communicated to me. At the lesson, she kept asking me and the kids, "So you've had NO experience with horses before?" This was like she was annoyed that she was going to have to teach us the basics. Then when I went to help my daughter on the horse she told my daughter that she was going to really have to help me by climbing since she is "chunky." My daughter is not chunky and even if she was I don't think that it was appropriate for her to call my 7 year old daughter chunky especially with all the pressures on girls about body issues. Throughout the lesson she consistently yelled at the girls and told them to be better listeners. She had no patience with them. Both myself and the other mother that was there didn't think the girls were not listening, they were just new to all the directions. When we left my daughter's little friend said as soon as we got into the car, "She was really mean." Unfortunately this was not the fun experience I had hoped. The first thing my daughter told my husband about the experience when we got home was that her teacher called her "chunky." I am sure that Linda is an expert with horses, but I don't think she wants to deal with young or inexperienced riders. We have decided to cancel the rest of the lessons we purchased.
