“I have had the pleasure of coaching Amelia since the spring of 2023. She is a talented and hardworking student who truly loves this sport, demonstrates a desire to improve with every ride and puts her horses’ welfare above her competitive goals. She gives her all during our lessons and in the show ring and pushes through difficult exercises with grace and fortitude. Amelia is extremely motivated and strives to perfect her ability to communicate with any horse she rides. She brings a determination that inspires others around her and is loved in our barn by young and old alike. She is a delight to teach because she is extraordinarily coachable and has a great mindset about developing as a rider.
It has been a joy and privilege to work with Amelia and watch her excel as part of our barn family. Given all her excellent qualities, I believe that Amelia will be an asset to any program.”

“I joined Galway Farm as an assistant trainer in the summer of 2023 and have worked closely with Amelia since that time. As a young professional, I’m very aware of the dedication needed to excel at this sport and Amelia embodies all of the qualities that will set her up for success. Amelia is genuinely dedicated to improving her riding skills and developing her horsemanship. She is a pleasure to teach and has a great attitude at the barn no matter whether she’s riding or helping with barn chores. At shows, Amelia is the first at the barn and the last to leave. I can always count on her to help me ensure that Galway’s team is successful and that our clients and horses have the best experience possible. Amelia is an excellent teammate, and I am confident that she will be an amazing addition to any program she is a part of.”
