Dana Smith Show Team

Aug 2023

I have had the pleasure of riding for Dana for 3 years and the honor of working for her for the past year and I have never known a trainer that wants you to succeed like Dana does. Not only did she invest in my riding, but also in my growth as a person. She encourages you to step out of your comfort zone while providing all the tools necessary to help you along the way. She puts horse and rider before anything! I got to experience many firsts at this barn, and it has become my family. If you're looking for a show barn that feels like home, this is the place to go! If you're looking for a lesson barn for your child or you to have fun, this is the place to go. If you want to lease or buy, this is the place to go. Bottom line- whatever you're looking for, this is the place to go!!!! Pictured is how she transformed my old horse when I first moved to her barn, and then some photos of me and my lease horse she helped me find when I was competing more regularly. I love Dana and the show team so much

Dana and Brianna are wonderful. She's definitely the right fit for me with my riding ability, her horses and staff. I'm on lesson 3 and loving it. Although, I will be moving when we are back in 3 years she's the one I'll come back to. I'm getting back into jumping again after ankle surgery and I'm truly excited to see where my lessons lead to prior to my move.

We flew down here from Canada for our daughter to take some lessons with Dana. Her first lesson was yesterday, and it was the best private lesson she's had in her three years of riding. She was given the perfect pony for her level/experience and she worked for a full hour on jumps with Dana. There was a shaded area for my husband and I to watch, Dana was firm, knowledgeable, but not intimidating. I would move here if I could, just so that we could do more lessons with Dana.
