"Lynn holds the welfare of the animals foremost when she works with their human partners. She instinctively can read the horses' needs and carries that into her own riding as well as her teaching. I am always confident to recommend her to people looking for good instruction and horse care."

"Lynn is a gifted teacher and talented rider who can tap into each individual's goals and aspirations. She has the ability to break down why we ride the way we do and how the horse interprets our signals and aids. Brass Ring cultivates both riding ability along with understanding: a very rare find. Lynn's compassion for horses is contagious and you can't help but pick up on the positive energy that all of her horses radiate."
