    She has been in the horse business most of her life, as a student,
    rider, trainer or instructor.  Her cherished experiences with
    American Saddlebred horses throughout her childhood is what
    inspired her to open this farm.  She believes that these special
    horses have so many gifts to give and so many lessons to teach
    that will last a lifetime.

    Nicole has always loved the excitement of showing American
    Saddlebreds and loves to share her excitement with others ready
    for the endeavor.  Nicole began giving riding lessons in 1993,
    just after her Junior Exhibitor career ended.   Nicole wants to
    make your horse riding experience one that you will truly enjoy.  
    She believes riding and showing should be safe, fun, exciting,
    and challenging.  She has instructed riders to compete
