"My time spent working with Elizabeth Barker was an education in the details of horsemanship. Lizzy’s eye could pick out the subtleties in a horse’s behavior that lets a trainer or rider know what is about to happen. With this keen intellect she was able to apply her instinctive feel into practice by walking a student through the “what happens next” phase. I saw many transformations under her instruction in both horse and rider alike. Any horse I got on that had come from Lizzy’s program I knew had all the right buttons in the all the right places and it made me feel safer because of it. She is truly a harmonious and thorough horsewoman and I wish I could continue my work with her to this day."

About Elizabeth >>

The atmosphere at Hidden Meadows Farm is relaxed, friendly, and professional.

Elizabeth is a triple certified equestrian in Training, Instruction, and Equine Massage Therapy. The goal of the facility is to provide excellent care and quality training to each and every horse on it. It is also to guide the owners through the training process so that they can be combined in a strong communicative relationship. Horses should feel confident in their routine going to work consistently and learning to become a good citizen of the barn. Owners should feel relaxed and completely comfortable with their horses being here for training.
