"Jill has completely transformed our daughter's riding. She not only builds skill and confidence, but also has an incredible gift for matching riders with the right horses. Beyond her role as a trainer, Jill has become a trusted guide for us as new horse and stable owners - an expert in all things equine whose wisdom and friendship we deeply value. Her heart, integrity, and genuine care shine through in everything she does. We are so grateful for her."

"What I like best about Jill's training program is that each horse is treated differently and worked according to how they will perform best. Jill always has the horse's best interest at heart and wants them to be happy and comfortable at all times. Not only is she a great rider, she is an amazing teacher and has a great way of communicating different concepts and ideas to her riders. She is easily the most well-educated and hands-on trainer that I have ever ridden with. Winning ribbons isn't everything, it is the relationship with your horse that matters most. This is obviously very important to Jill because often times, you can find her in a stall spending time with one of her horses. The Hidden Knoll community is bonded in our love for horses and our friendships."

"I have ridden with Jill for many years and think she is a phenomenal rider and trainer! Her attention to detail comes through both in her care of the horses as well as her teaching. She has found great horses for me that have surpassed my expectations. While I no longer show, I spent years showing with Jill and had excellent experiences. My young daughter (age 4) has just started her riding lessons and Jill and her staff have been very patient and warm with her. It is the highlight of both of our weeks when we get to go out for her lesson. We trust Hidden Knoll to provide the best care for horses and riders!"

"The well-being and care of the horses are the most important things to Jill and her team. Over the years I have witnessed a progression in the skill of the riders that have come to Jill, as well as a transformation in the horses that she works with. She allows me to work with my horse to figure things out, guiding us to grow together as a 'team', which has helped to create a bond between my horse and myself. Of course everyone wants to win, but it is not all about the ribbons, it is also about growing and learning every time you step foot in the show ring, whether it's an amazing ride that you want to repeat or mistakes made that you learn and grow from."

"Jill has not only taught me how to thrive in the show ring, but also create a deeper knowledge of horsemanship. Her ability to teach riders is impeccable and furthermore adds to her expertise. Jill is an extremely talented and experienced trainer who always wants the best for the horse and rider. She puts her best foot forward in all of her work and helps riders achieve their goals. Jill not only makes time for the rider but also their parents."

Her philosophy and skills give us a great deal of confidence and comfort entering into this sport. In one year, our daughter has earned the confidence, horsemanship and riding skills to compete and place in high level competitions."
