Real experiences from lessons, camps, training, and wellness offerings at Clarity Equine.
“I didn’t realize how much I would love riding lessons until I started at Clarity Equine. The focus on mindfulness and confidence has helped me far beyond the arena.”
— Tammy, Adult Rider
“Ellie has been interested in horses for as long as she could walk and talk, and after trying multiple different activities that she wasn’t interested in, we finally found this program for her with Caitlin at Clarity Equine this summer and watched her confidence and love for riding flourish. We are excited to see her skills and confidence grow even more. We have nothing but positive things to say and highly recommend this program!”
— Amanda McCarville, Parent of Tiny Tot Rider
“I am a complete newcomer to riding lessons, and I am so happy to have discovered Clarity Equine. Caitlin is able to push me to learn new skills while also ensuring that safety is always a priority. She explains things clearly, meets me where I’m at, and encourages progress without pressure. Lessons with Caitlin have truly become the highlight of my week.”
— Kim Gallant, Adult Rider
“Caitlin was so welcoming and upbeat with my girls at horse camp. They were completely new to horses, and it was such a wonderful introduction to the barn and horse world. Caitlin was patient, supportive, and made them feel at ease right from the start. The girls left feeling confident and excited, and they have been asking to take part in a summer camp ever since. We will definitely be back.”
— Courtney, Parent of Participants
“What a wonderful, informative, and engaging evening. The horses were incredibly kind and intuitive, and the facilitators guided us through a safe, meaningful experience. Everything felt well thought out and intentional, creating a sense of trust and connection throughout the workshop.”
— Donna Whiting, Adult Participant
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Caitlin and the amazing work she has done with my daughter’s horse, Chum. From the very moment we dropped him off, it was clear that she possessed a combination of deep knowledge, patience, and a true passion for the well-being of both horse and rider. Chum has completely transformed under Caitlin’s training. He is far less reactive, much more responsive to riding cues, and overall a calmer, happier horse. The change has been incredible to watch. My daughter has gained so much confidence — not just in her riding, but in herself.”
— Brittany Fitzgerald, Horse Owner & Parent
“Caitlin gives 110% of herself to her students. When I feel overwhelmed or anxious, she knows exactly how to talk me through it in a calm and supportive way. She helps me slow down, refocus, and rebuild my confidence. Just like that, I feel grounded, capable, and ready to go again.”
— Korinne, Hopkinson, Adult Rider
“I loved the Winter Wellness Workshop. I genuinely felt like I was in a safe place where I could talk openly about what I need to work on and some of my personal challenges without feeling judged. The environment was supportive, welcoming, and thoughtfully facilitated. It was also super fun and enjoyable — I would absolutely recommend it.”
— Hanna Thompson, Youth Participant
“Caitlin is professional, knowledgeable, and particular in the best way. She ensures that every aspect of horsemanship is taught — not just riding, but care, understanding, and responsibility.”
— Taylor Vardy-Gavin, Rider & Professional Mentorship
“I was lacking confidence since I hadn’t ridden in years, and returning to the saddle felt intimidating. Caitlin has completely changed that for me. Her approach is encouraging, patient, and confidence-building. I always leave the barn feeling happy, accomplished, and proud of myself.”
— Lori Swayne, Adult Rider
