TESTIMONIALS

Strength in Partnership provides well Balanced Riding/training Courses for all ages! The owner/instructor/trainer, Dawn is great to work with and is very knowledgeable. I have been working with Dawn over many years and have great respect for her. She handles young competitive students and their horses with great mindfulness and skill, in having them become the best of who they are as a team. Dawn is also very patient with the more aged group of women (or men) who just want to learn, ride and have a great time. If you are looking for an opportunity for growth, confidence, the ability to understand how you and your horse can be one, this is your place and Dawn is your person. Thank you Dawn for so many good times, greater understanding of my horse and myself as a rider.

For the past 10 years, I’ve seen Dawn Hoselton train horses and riders of all ages and abilities with patience, creativity, and expertise.  She has a unique ability to work through any issue a horse/rider may be facing, from groundwork to show patterns to speed events.  Dawn approaches her training by understanding how a horse is thinking and how a rider is learning, crafting tailored lessons that lead to long-lasting results - with partnership as the foundation for it all.   

Not only has Dawn been an amazing trainer for my 14 year old daughter, she has been a wonderful role model for her as well. She cares deeply for her students and their horses.  She shows up to every lesson with so much knowledge to share and meets each rider/horse combo exactly where they’re at. I’ve been on the sidelines at so many lessons over the years and I am always amazed at the smallest details she notices between the riders and their horses and how the changes she suggests make such a big difference in the outcomes. My daughter’s riding skills improved dramatically in both Western and English riding disciplines because of Dawn’s training methods. I am grateful that our paths crossed with Dawn’s…I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an equine trainer!
