“Taylor is a professional yet approachable coach. She knows her stuff and is able to precisely communicate instruction that helps her students fine tune and advance in their discipline with confidence. She’s also down to earth which helped my nervous daughter feel comfortable and excited to ride with her since day one.”

My daughter has just started lessons with Taylor and absolutely loves them! She has asked if she could have one every day!!
Taylor is such a kind and knowledgeable Trainer and explains everything so well, my daughters confidence has exploded. The horses are quiet and responsive and the lessons have a good mix of groundwork and handling, including excellent instruction once on board. We are so excited to see the progress and thankful to have found Taylor and Starling Equestrian Academy.

We purchased Casper in September 2022 for our 3 little girls but primarily our 9 year old. She does everything for him with ease and he hasn't been phased by our littles or any other obstacles we've put him near.
His training is exceptional. He leads, ties, loads, stands for the farrier. He's easy to catch and so fun to ride!
Taylor was professional right from the beginning. We couldn't have asked for anyone better when purchasing our daughters first pony. And she's carried on giving advice and tips since purchase which is such a great bonus!
We would highly recommend Taylor and any of her horses!

"I am an adult student who has never riden before. Taylor was very patient and understanding and took me through the basics without being condescending or impatient. I would thoroughly recommend her as a coach!"
