Mercedes Andazola Dressage LLC

No one answers the phones. It does not seem like a professional place because the voicemail is someones cell phone. Not sure how you expect business when no one is there to take a reservation...

Mercedes has been working with my gelding, teaching him how to stretch, collect and balance himself. After 2 training rides, I was impressed with how much softer and looser he feels. I've never had a better ride with him since we have been working with Mercedes. If you want a great trainer with proper technique who will help build you and your horse's confidence and actually see results, go ride with Mercedes!

Mercedes is magnificent! After returning to horses from a 15+ year hiatus, Mercedes helped me get my confidence back in the saddle while at the same time helping me bring along a 4 y/o youngster. Her teaching style is open and adaptable to each horse/rider combination and she stresses the training scale to ensure the brought up correctly without any shortcuts in training. The best thing about her program is the supportive atmosphere among her students--we are one big family!!!

racist experience. do NOT go here if you expect equal treatment :)

I have received excellent instruction as a returning rider after 35 years. After 5 months of lessons on a variety of lesson horses at High Valley Stables, I asked Mercedes to find a project horse to purchase. Mercedes found an exact match to my must have specific criteria. This horse was under her care in Full training already at High Valley. We, (my horse and I) have been in Full training with Mercedes since April 2017. I have seen an amazing transformation with my OTTB- training, a strong foundation in conditioning, personalized feeding regime to address my horse’s needs and at the core of this transformation is a dressage horse ready to go schooling shows and up the levels.nnIn addition, Mercedes is knowledgeable, kind, and good humored. She has many horses in her training program on site as well as haul ins. Every horse is treated individually with a personalized training program for both horse and rider. Group training lessons are offered for skills such as Cavaletti training. Mercedes is attentive and timely answering questions and offering solutions for individual needs, both horse and rider.nI feel lucky to have found an amazing trainer, a fantastic horse, a beautiful facility and quality owner/riders.
