Wanted to share this post: As a coach it is always challenging to help train young riders when they are on young horses. However, Hayden has an excellent work ethic, does her homework between lessons and stays focused on the details of her riding. Hayden has risen to the occasion and is doing a great job with Dutches a lovely Morgan/Friesian cross! I appreciate her mom's kind words and Haydens hard work.

"Mary, Thank you so much for being such a wonderful coach and role model for Hayden and Duchess. It has been amazing to watch their skill and confidence grow over this last year. I truly believe they would not be where they are without your coaching and guidance. Thank you for always being patient and kind and doing what is right for the horse and rider. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for Hayden and Duchess and look forward to continue to being part of the Burkeridge community." Thanks Again, Heather

As a coach it's always rewarding to help students find joy in the process of riding. I wanted to share this post from a new student.

As an amateur adult rider, I needed help with the training of my young mare. We needed someone who not only had the credentials and experience but could also teach in a systematic and succinct way to support horse and rider. I found that at Burkeridge Farm with Mary Burke. She listened to my goals and concerns and immediately formulated a customized program for us. Every lesson builds on the previous one and has plenty of take away for "homework "! In just a few months my horse and I have gained confidence and understanding and are working as partners. With Mary's support and instruction, my horse and I are working harmoniously towards our goals and we are enjoying the ride! The environment at Burkeridge Farm is one of encouragement and support. Thank you Mary

Big THANK YOU! to Caryn at Aspen Grove Farm and Equestrian Institute for hosting and organizing the Anne Gribbons clinic this October. As the U.S. Equestrian Federation's Technical Advisor for Dressage from 2010 to 2012, Anne developed the USEF educational dressage pipeline and successfully guided U.S. riders through several prominent international competitions including the World Equestrian Games and London Olympics. This is the fourth time I have had the privilege to ride with Anne. Each time I gain new insight into the movements I am working on. The focus of this clinic was on half pass and canter pirouettes plus improving overall cadance in the gaits with Brody aka "Valentino" and Hollywood.

Great educational opportunity this past September 25-26 With top rated dressage Judge Mike Osinski held at Burkeridge Farm. His positive minded instruction gets the most out of every horse and rider in a relaxed and expressive way. All the auditors enjoyed watching the transformation of the horse and rider unfold as the lessons progressed. I am honored that in 2025 he will return for three to four more clinics. His help with growing and supporting my dressage program is so appreciated.
