“Ally is the trainer I needed to push me to the next level and to get me to my best riding. She is supportive, patient, and provides excellent attention to detail. She gives the "why's and how's" in every lesson, so that I can understand everything I am doing. Ally is a wonderful trainer and person to work with; I highly recommend!!” - Katie R.
“We’ve been working with Ally for a couple months now and have loved it! She’s been wonderful with our 10 year old who is a beginner rider. It’s been exciting to see her progress so much with the lessons. Ally has so much knowledge about resources in the area and is great with our two horses that are young and green. We can’t wait to see our daughter do some shows with her soon. Highly recommend her for riders of all levels!” - Marielle P.
“I couldn’t be happier with my purchase of Roulette, aka Rue, from Ally Schultz. I intended to try and find an experienced horse with some show miles from whom I could learn and further develop my riding skills. When I saw Rue’s photos, I was struck by her lovely appearance and Dutch Harness Horse breeding, but I remained skeptical due to her young age. I had a difficult time imagining that a 4 year-old would meet the needs that I believed I had. I was stunned and in love from the first ride when I tried her. I could feel the floaty gaits and found her gentle, yet spunky temperament appealing. What truly impressed me were the foundational basics that Ally instilled in Rue. Ride after ride, her flatwork has been flawless and has progressed remarkably in a short time. This has further supported our blossoming jumping partnership. I cannot say enough about Ally’s training of Rue and how much I am enjoying this amazing mare!”-Beth R.
It's been a pleasure watching the progress Ally made in just two months(!) with my young mares. She is quiet, patient, persistent, and professional. She is down to earth and enjoys what she does. She takes very good care of her clients horses--and works hard to help them succeed. I look forward to continuing their progress and sales with her. - Emily M.
Ally Schultz notes my limitations and abilities, but pushes me at the same time. I have gained so much more confidence and knowledge with Ally in my first 2 lessons alone than months of lessons with other "high end" and well known trainers. She consistently asks about what my goals are and gives me exercises outside of lessons to work on. Most notably, within the first hour of working with her, I went from being scared to go over a ground pole to doing 2'6" singles and 2' spreads. By the end of my second lesson, she had be successfully going over 3' with my horse. None the less, she knows how to work on my weaknesses but also allows me have a great time while learning. She opens my full potential even more every lesson I have with her. I highly recommend Ally if you are looking for a great affordable instructor. - Chloe
Ally is a great trainer with a fantastic teaching style. She really gets to know her students and how to help them succeed. Highly recommend! -Ally M.
Ally has been an amazing trainer and she has been even better to work with. I've progressed so much in just a short time from my lessons with her. As one of her students, I would highly recommend to contact Ally and start lessons. I have been a student of Ally's for some time now. I use to ride at a lesson barn and rode your normal lesson horses that were somewhat difficult for me to learn on. Since changing from a lesson barn to Ally's program I have learned so much and my riding technique has greatly improved. My lessons vary between show jumping and dressage, all depending on what she thinks I should work on for that day. I've ridden a range of different horses from an easy beginner horse to a dressage show master who taught me a lot on how to properly ride like a professional. Those lessons were especially difficult for me since I have a hard time figuring out how to correctly apply aids and other riding techniques. But Ally helped me fix my problems quickly by explaining what was going wrong and giving examples of closely rated situations that would help me mentally and physically. My improvements have been so significant that I did my first 2'3 show a few weeks ago, which was a big deal for me since I have mental problems with jumping.
However, doing my lessons with Ally has changed my riding for the better. I can now jump up to 2'6 on a good day. When I started with Ally I could barely do 2ft. I highly recommend using her lesson program -Julia B.
I really love my lessons with Ally! -David W.
