"As someone who has ridden with so very many different trainers, I feel confident when I state Atlas’s teaching style is different: patient, welcoming, kind, encouraging and thorough. These qualities not only are visible in their teaching and training, but also present in their general approach to horsemanship. They meet people where they happen to be, and their manner of encouraging their students forward to tangible results is dynamic, adaptable, and individualized. Similarly, their gentle but firm approach to training my young horse has also yielded concrete and substantial results. Atlas’s well-rounded experience has been remarkably influential in both my and my horse’s skills and confidence. I look forward to continuing to grow and watch my horse develop with their assistance and expertise."

"I started riding only late in life at the age of 69. I had to stop skiing due to inoperable arthritis, but riding is a comfortable year-round exercise for my bad hip. Atlas trained me and my mount with a keen eye for our errors and imbalances. Under guidance from Atlas, we were put in shape to participate at a horse show and earn a blue ribbon in Introductory Dressage."

"After many different trainers, atlas was the ONLY one to help my anxiety and not push me too quickly. They have built my confidence greatly and made me love the sport even more."
