Testimonials

  • "When I needed help with my daughter's horse to keep him fit and engaged in work, I naturally thought of Ana as the perfect choice. Her philosophy and horsemanship put the horse first. She's a pleasure to work with and the horse thrived under her care and training."

    -Barbara S., from Templeton, CA

  • "Ana has been a great instructor for my daughter Scarlett! She makes the lessons fun as well as very informative. She is very patient and kind with my daughter. I would highly recommend her to anyone (young and old) who is looking to have a positive experience with riding!"

    -Joanne D. & Scarlett (12) of Paso Robles, CA

  • "I purchased a horse, Zorro, that was being trained by Ana. Zorro had been abandoned by his owner so Ana was hired to restart and rehome Zorro. During that time he was with Ana, he received a good foundation of education and she prepared him well for his next chapter. Zorro is now succeeding as a quiet trail horse and learning how to be a (fox) hunting horse. Thanks Ana!"

    -Rachel M.; Barn Manager for Kick On Ranch & Santa Ynez Valley Hounds

  • “My daughter and I had the pleasure of working with Ana in buying our first horse, Hope! Ana made the process so easy; she was kind, patient, and responsive. She shared her extensive knowledge and history with horses and that made us feel so comfortable with making our decision. We are so grateful we found Ana and Hope and we are happy to know that we can always count on Ana for continued support.”

    -Sheri & Scarlett (10) of Avila Beach, CA

  • “We have had the pleasure of employing Ana for the past 6 months on our ranch. Ana has worked with 5 riders and 4 horses with various levels of experience (both horses and riders) here. Ana has extensive horse(wo)man skills in various disciplines which allows her to meet her clients wherever their needs may be. She cares deeply about the rider, horse, and their connection together. I highly recommend Ana Korgan. She is responsible, skilled, and our horses and riders have learned so much while under her care.”

    -Kalin T. of Santa Margarita, CA

  • "If you are looking for a trainer that truly knows horses, Ana is your gal. She has incredible patience, skills and determination. Her foresight with horses is truly amazing. We recently hired her to train a horse that was abandoned at our horse boarding facility. She not only has spent the last few weeks training him but also helped him find his self confidence again. These are huge and important accomplishments. We hope to bring more horses to Ana as we know she will take the time to train them well, not missing a step or rushing the process."

    -the Nuetill Family of San Miguel, CA

  • "Our 8 year old daughter Elena took first time riding lessons with Ana and we could not have asked for a better instructor. Ana was super sweet with Elena and went beyond just riding lessons, teaching Elena all about the equipment and proper grooming for horses. She was very patient with her and made the whole experience wonderful. We would highly recommend her services to any first time or young riders."
