Sponsor a Lesson Horse
"My son has been a student of Ashley's since January 2013. Ashley has consistently demonstrated she has the teaching skill, knowledge, experience and passion to help him achieve his riding goals. With Ashley's coaching I have seen great improvement in my son's riding ability, confidence in the tack and training skills. In the summer of 2013 we purchased a green mare. Ashley's skills as a training and willingness to teach my son humane and effective training methods are very much appreciated. There are many options for coaches and trainers in the equine industry; Ashley is definitely one I would highly recommend!"

My daughter was looking for a special pony or horse to participate in Pony Club mounted activities with we found that pony at Kings Meadow. Ashley has helped her reach her goals with a wonderful pony, The one on one attention has allowed my daughter to improve more than I could imagine in such a short time. She was able to participate in her first short course eventing competition, was first in her division at D rally (Dressage, Cross Country and Stadium Jumping) with clear rounds on both Cross and Stadium, participated in Tetrathlon which has a Cross Country and Stadium component, National Pentathlon riding portion and the fun show at the Rockton Fair and complete her D1 level testing with flying colours! Ashley has supported this 11 year old in having a great experience this past season. She is so excited to work hard over the winter to keep improving for next season. Thank you to a great coach, wonderful pony and excellent facility!

"Since taking lessons with owner/coach Ashley Van Der Hout, my riding has improved faster than ever before, and I learn new things every time I lesson. I am extremely happy with how much better my horse is doing since moving here, and I know that level of improvement can only be reached with a coach as knowledgeable and dedicated as Ashley. She consistently goes out of her way to make sure both my horse and I are advancing, and safe in doing so, and is always ready to listen and give advice."
