Testimonials

“...where dreams come true. ”

Kim Keating: A Bit Better Farm is a place where dreams come true. With lots of patience and hard work, I finally fulfilled my dream of completing a CCI* and I can say confidently that it NEVER would have happened without Kelley and Pat. Their unwavering support and Kelley's fabulous coaching and guidance were pivotal to reaching this goal. They will always have my deepest gratitude.

“...far and away the best boarding experience... ”

Barbara Miller: Kelley is one of the most gifted trainers I have ever been lucky enough to work with. Her ability to read horses mentally is one of the things that makes her an excellent trainer, and it has been instrumental in helping me overcome problems I have had with my horses when other instructors were unable to.

ABBF is hands down, far and away the best boarding experience I have ever had. Not only are the people wonderful and the atmosphere friendly and fun, but I know I can trust Kelley and Pat completely in caring for my horses and never have a moment's worry about their care.

“The change is really amazing. ”

Melissa Wong: Kelley is a tremendously gifted instructor. She has not only improved my riding skills, but she has also given me and my horse so much more confidence jumping! The change is really amazing. And I can't thank Pat enough for giving me the opportunity to lease her beloved Darby. He truly is the Wonder Pony!

“...helped me regain my love of riding. ”

Margaret Rizzo: When my young Thoroughbred gelding became difficult and sometimes frightening to ride, I was ready to give up. I loved my horse dearly, but he was no longer fun to ride. A friend suggested I call Kelley. Two years later, my horse is not only rideable, but he’s fun too! Yes, Kelley helped me reach my competitive goal of going Training, but even more importantly she helped me regain my love of riding. Her patience is enviable, and her love for her horses is inspiring.

As a new business owner I have rather unpredictable work hours. Even though I live only 20 minutes from the barn, there are days that I just cannot make it out to check on him. I cannot even begin to describe how comforting it is to know that he’s in the capable hands of ABBF.

“...where horses and students alike are happy and always encouraged to perform to the best of their ability. ”

Stephanie Tadlock: I am so grateful that I found my way to A Bit Better Farm, a place where horses and students alike are happy and always encouraged to perform to the best of their ability. Kelley is an inspiring teacher who has mastered the art of conveying the complexities of managing a 1200 pound animal in a simple way. She and Pat are positive people who like having fun and seeing their students, boarders and friends succeed. A Bit Better is a great place to be!
