Nona Garson and Rhythmical, the Olympic horse attained by trading 150 used washing machines for him in Russia. Over the years I have had several opportunities to train with her (every year for my birthday I ask for a package of lessons at The Ridge in NJ) and I have never been disappointed. She’s funny, down to earth, and more than willing to help all levels of riders. The amount of encouragement she’s given me over the years has been astounding, and I’m not even a regular student of hers. I am extremely grateful to her not only for supporting me, but also for finding Snapshot and helping my parents get him at an amazingly reasonable price. She’s one of the best.
