Merilee's ability to see inside the head and heart of both horse and rider is a gift to all that know her.

Rider

Every trainer should have the privilege of studying under Merilee at least once in their lifetime.

Trainer

I would go to the moon and back for my daughter and her horse, so a 50 minute car ride from Cary, NC to Carthage, NC is a walk in the park worth every mile.

Merilee not only teaches us 'eyes up, heels down,' but also encourages us to think for ourselves and figure out why we have to ride the way we do. When she sends us into the show ring, we're prepared to think through every single stride.

Merilee has made my daughter a "thoughtful" rider, not only teaching her what to do, but why it should be done.
