I started riding summer of 2020 with Kara and immediately knew she was the perfect trainer for me! She is patient and kind, but firm and purposeful in her teaching. I am in my mid-40s, rode a little as a child but never had a real lesson program. I started with one lesson a week which quickly turned to two lessons a week, then a full lease with lessons and two horse shows.Fast forward one year - I cannot imagine a future without riding. It brings me peace and confidence I don’t get elsewhere at work or through other activities. Kara has helped me to grow and progress and become a real horsewoman - I trusted her expertise to help me with the ultimate decision, selecting and purchasing my first horse. I am now the proud owner of a 4-year old Warmblood mare who I am learning to ride with Kara’s training and guidance, for both me and my horse.If you are looking for a place to board your horse and work with a trainer who cares and has experience, look no further. Kara and the Tuff Competition team care about your development as rider and for your horse. April, Elvis, Jen and Kara are all experienced horse people who will treat you and your horse like family. I’m so thankful to have found Kara and plan to continue on my path with my horse with her at Tuff Competition Farms.

Cannot begin to describe how much I have learned and grown in my short time here so far. Top quality care and training. April is a very attentive instructor who listens to the riders concerns and addresses them. Never pushes the horse or rider farther than they are comfortable with!

The must peaceful farm in town.
