"That is so kind of you, she truly loves every minute of her lessons. It is such a gift to watch her ride with complete and utter joy. Thank you so much for giving her this opportunity to learn from you, we are so grateful for this slice of happiness each week!" A student's mother This article is amazing! You are a wonderful person. The relationship you have with horses and the students you teach is beautiful. I wouldn't have any other place to send G. You gave her more than just a way to be with her #1 love, horses!!! You gave her the knowledge of horses and the understanding of the horse-human relationship, which is what she NEEDS! (Equine Therapy). Thank you so much for everything! G says she wishes everyday was Wednesday. On weekends she says she wishes she was at your place to groom and care for horses. (She even asked me to pay you for one of your horses, so she will have her own! LOL). The article described your facility perfectly! May God always bless you and your family for the kindness you provide to everyone. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for everything. - J Blue Skies is my daughter's happy place. I'm so glad she is there for camp and lessons! - R My daughters have been learning to care for and ride horses at Blue Skies of Mapleview for 8 years, and I really cannot rave about Deborah and Blue Skies enough. Many people associate riding with a heavy emphasis on showing and competing, and there are plenty of barns that cater to that. But if you're looking for a different, more holistic experience, you could not do better than Blue Skies. There, your kids will learn not just riding but also empathy (Deborah's always telling the students "Thank your horse"), responsibility (they tack up and groom the horses as well as ride, and if it rains, they clean tack), and attentiveness (paying attention to their horse's demeanor and mood). Deborah's fantastic with kids patient, gentle, and creative. And she's also super safety conscious, and makes sure her students have mastered and repeated basic skills until they're second nature. Plus, there are the physical benefits of riding it's athletic (anyone who thinks riding is not athletic has never ridden a horse!) and promotes good posture. And it's fun how many things can you say your kid enjoys immensely that also build character and muscles? - A My girls have been riding at Blue Skies of Mapleview for 8 years, both going to camp and taking lessons (and one is now a junior counselor for camp), and I really cannot rave enough about them. Deborah Pearson Moyers, who runs it, is FANTASTIC with kids - super safety conscious, patient, creative.. She offers a gentle, non-competitive way for kids to learn to care for and ride horses. My girls have learned so much about horses and so much more from her. - AL I found myself at another barn in Chapel Hill with a friend looking at horses and was just so shocked at how they ran their lessons...the instructor's focus was hardly on their students but when it was she said mostly negative things! The students all had crops and/or spurs and were flying around the ring...I suppose that's one way to learn. Man, am I thankful to have had many of my experiences at Blue Skies and with you. I really think that horses all over are better because of what you teach your students and the hard work you, Peter, and Sonja put into caring for the herd and your students! I feel so lucky to be a part of this! |
