Wendy Stewart

I recently started regular lessons with Stephanie. I don't have a trailer so thankfully she travels to Keremeos to teach. Talk about 'riding that lesson high!'

I have had two lessons so far; one mounted and one groundwork session and the improvement in the partnership I have with Geo is incredible. Stephanie is knowledgeable, professional and prompt and approaches things with the best interest of the horse in mind.

I highly recommend Stephanie for anyone wishing to expand their riding and horsemanship skills. I can't wait for my next lesson!

I have been taking lessons with Stephanie for just a few months, but the progress my horse has made in his way of going is astounding. Stephanie has an abundance of knowledge, and her background in Classical Dressage allows her to teach methods that are healthy mentally and physically for the horse, and encourage correct engagement and movement. The time I have spent riding with Stephanie has been worth every penny.

We recently purchased my daughters first horse from Stephanie and could not be more pleased with our horse and our purchase experience. Stephanie was professional, accommodating and extremely helpful as we navigated a new experience. Our horse has exceeded our expectations - she is kind, trustworthy, confident and versatile, which testifies to her training. I will definitely seek out opportunities to work with Stephanie again in the future.

My Oldenburg Quincy and I participated in Stephanie Antonick's clinic in Princeton at the end of September. It was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! Stephanie greatly challenged us and we learned tons. Stephanie's instruction is very clear, and she has an eye that doesn't seem to miss anything. I've built a solid foundation on Quincy over the past few years, and working with Stephanie challenged me to up my game in my riding. Spending 3 days in the clinic meant I had a chance to work on new challenges more than once...still trying to get the feel of some things my body and mind need to understand... I'm planning to bring Stephanie down to the Lower Mainland for a clinic in May/June 2020, and also plan for a group of us to attend a clinic at her place in Princeton a couple of months later. If you want to join us, let me know. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STEPHANIE as a trainer and clinician.

I had the pleasure of meeting Stephanie at the BCHBC Rendezvous in Princeton this year. I watched her free demo and was able to book two lessons with her, to work with two of my horses. She is a world of knowledge and I love the way she is able to transfer that knowledge to the crowd, as well as, to just an individual. I would highly recommend Stephanie. If we only lived closer together I would definitely take regular lessons/clinics with her.

Alicia Paquette

Stephanie and her team are truly amazing, very caring reasonably priced and willing to work with you and your child on their needs and skills. Stephanie keeps safety a top priority, and truly cares for not only her horses but for the riders alike. My daughter has done both camps and lessons with Hoof to Heart and we just love it. Highly highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing 3 day weekend with my children. They went in scared and nervous on Friday and came home Sunday with amazing confidence and smiles from ear to ear. I would recommend this to any parent wanting to get their littles out and to build their confidence. Amazing team! Thank you so very much.

Steph helped me work through separation anxiety issues with my boy and I can already see the difference after one week! The mountain trail clinic was so much fun focussing on connection with our horses and challenging them without overfacing them, highly recommend!

Peter Vangenne

Steph is an accomplished trainer!. She has a high level of expertise and a very practical sense of what both the horse needs and the Owner wants to accomplish. She had my green Friesen gelding for two months and did a fantastic job with him. My older Friesen mare was schooled further as well. She kept me in the loop with regular communication and invited me to participate regularly. Great trainer with a winning personality!! I will be back with my horse(s) in the spring.

Candace Stark

Steph has helped me work through many bad behaviors that my inexperienced horse had. She helped me to gain the confidence I needed to push through and fix the dangerous behaviors my horse was presenting. I feel so much more confident and my horse and I are becoming a team. We competed in our first show this fall and went home with ribbons. The progress we have made in a few short months is amazing.

I’ve known Stephanie for at least 12 years, and have endless respect for her horsemanship. She is a rare combination of compassion and no-nonsense, speaking and working from the heart in her teaching of both humans and horses. She is an avid on-going learner, constantly improving her already formidable skill set with continuing education in all areas of equine interest. Horses and humans like and respect her, and she brings a wonderful sense of humour and kind firmness while encouraging students, 4 and 2-legged, to try harder, reach deeper, grow stronger.
