“Alex started telling us at the age of 3 he wanted to be a jockey when he grew up. At 4 1/2 he rode his first horse and loved every minute of it. We were referred to Nicole by a neighbor of ours, and scheduled Alex’s first lesson shortly after he turned 5. We felt welcomed right from the start and became part of the Double N Family. Nicole is a fabulous teacher who makes sure safety for the horse and rider are just as important as learning and having fun. Nicole’s patience and perseverance has paid off with Alex. Alex’s confidence has grown as a rider and as a little man around our own home. He is so proud of what he can do, and we are so proud of how much he has learned. Our whole family enjoys spending time at the barn, playing with all the animals and helping “work” around the barn. Alex has been riding for over a year now, and loves it more every time he’s there. I hope you know how appreciated you are by our whole family! We are so happy we started his lessons with you!” -Carrie Mortenson
