My three kids and I are taking lessons from Mrs. Ofelia, and she is a very thorough and conscientious instructor. We were looking for someone to teach us all about horses, not just how to ride. That is exactly what we found. We have been with Ofelia since July and I am impressed by the fact that the focus is safety. We are learning how to be around horses and communicate with them. Ofelia is patient with her students, definitely concerned about safety, and wants her students to succeed. We are learning so much and these lessons are a dream come true for me personally. What I love even more is that my oldest son originally wasn’t interested, but he quickly changed his mind when he saw the lessons in action, and he is doing an amazing job with the horses. My kids are 14, 12 and 9, and all of them are learning a healthy respect for horses and the proper way to work with them. As for me, I’m 40 years old, have loved horses from afar all of my life, and I’m so grateful to have been introduced to Ofelia at Colors of the Desert. Thank you, Ofelia, for doing what you are doing!
