Experienced tutor in Horseback riding in Lakeside, DeAnna offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Had no horse riding experience prior to my lessons and after a couple lessons, I got more confident in my skills and with the horse. The instructor is very patient and goes over any concerns you might have prior or while riding and feel like her teaching style is very understandable. I felt like we advanced my skills after each lesson and that they were very productive. I also had some time to ride freely which was a nice bonus just to build my confidence with the horse. We started lessons from safety rules and grooming to advancing all the way to trotting now. The horse (Strydor) seemed a little intimidating at first because of his height and because I didn’t have any prior horse interactions, however by the second time I was on him, he made me feel more comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with Deanna and can’t wait to continue.

I learned so much about horses and riding! Deanna was so thorough and patient. Learning the basics about safety with horses was a great introduction for beginners like myself and gave me more confidence as the lessons progressed.

Deeana is a great coach. I am very pleased with the quality of the lessons which show her experience and knowledge of horse back riding. She is consistent, firm but patient with my daughter. My 12 year old loves her and her horses. Her weekly horse back riding lesson is the highlight of her week.we are so fortunate to have found her!

I learned so much from DeAnna and her two handsome guys: Gryphon and Strydor. I loved how much more confident I felt with horeback riding every time I took a class. On a personal note, the horseback riding made me feel more confident in myself... which spilled into the rest of my life. Something I really was looking for in my life.

The lessons were focused on the foundational tools to become a strong rider and then once I was confident in that area, DeAnna moved me onto more complex moves. She is very clear in her directions, firm on what needs to be done, and very kind. An absolutely wonderful instructor. I highly recommend From The Ground Up to anyone looking to get back in the saddle, or learn to be comfortable in one!

Deanna was well rounded in the different riding styles which was helpful in teaching a new rider. Helped my daughter decide what style she liked. Deanna was also very flexible which was very helpful with our busy life style.
