“Erika is kind, cheerful, generous in her instruction, and wonderfully communicative. If it appears you are not understanding her instructions, she takes the time and energy to think of a different way to communicate the instruction until you understand.

I have heard, on and off, one particular instruction with various dressage instructors over the years to correct my position...each time I asked the instructor what it meant, and each time I heard “you just do it” (IMO, soften your elbows is not intuitive).

In about ten seconds, Erika explained what exactly that meant, and I was immediately able to understand, and begin to correct, a lifelong misunderstanding of a very basic and important tenant of dressage.

I couldn’t have been more thrilled. Just go! Take the lesson, attend the clinic, don’t stress about your level. She will happily meet you where you are.”

“Erika’s Cavalletti clinic is one of the best things I’ve found to do with my horse. Not only is it a right joint-friendly workout for my horse, but Erika gives me insightful tips on my riding in a very straightforward and unintimidating way. I have ridden a few horses in the clinic, including a retired eventing TB and a gaited Rocky Mountain horse, and as different as those two horses are they both really liked it.

“I have a rescue horse who has some physical issues. I rode him in several of Erika’s cavaletti clinics. He became so much stronger and more confident and uses his body better. I have even begun jumping with him. Erika has a wonderful sense of both the horse and rider’s ability and tailors the clinic to your needs. I recommend this clinic to everyone.”
