Monika Parrish, ARIA Certified Riding Instructor, English and Western Riding, Horsemanship 

I am deeply grateful for the gift of horses and the quiet blessing  of being able to connect with them. I’ve learned that with the right education, fear fades away and nothing is truly scary any longer; what began with the simple joy of riding has unfolded into a continuous journey of learning, breeding, foaling, and training. Horses have carried me through many incredible riding disciplines and to many wonderful places with friends and family. From across the Southeast and beyond, from Alabama, Tennessee to Myrtle Beach in the Carolinas, Texas, Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Germany, and Ireland.

I only hope you will get to experience the freedom and the “flow” that horses bring to my soul.
