“I’ve never ridden horses before and I’ve always been intrigued to take lessons so I figured I’d throw myself into it! I started taking lessons in the summer! I’ve been training with Ana primarily and she is absolutely amazing! She explains things soooo well, super friendly, and understanding all while pushing you at the same time! I feel more confident in riding and feel that I’ve improved since the summer! While she’s been gone for school 😭 I’ve been training with Angelica and sometimes with Tory, Galina, or Susan and they’re absolutely amazing! And I’ve eventually found that Haleigh, Quinn, and Daybreak are my favorite to ride 🐎🫶🏽 thanks for helping me with my riding journey guys!”

“My daughter has grown so much as a rider and an individual at BEC. The team is warm and helpful, and we feel like we've found a home. My daughter loves the trainers and the horses (shout out to Peach Pie, Quinn, and Breezy). Thank you, BEC!”
