CDA - USDF Instructor/Trainer Mini-Workshop with Maryal Barnett
"I wanted to thank you all for the hospitality last Friday at the Instructor's workshop. Everyone was accommodating and encouraging to one another.
Thanks for putting it all together. Look forward to next time!"

"It’s hard to think of a more supportive environment than Mistover to challenge and encourage a rider by offering a clinic with a teacher the caliber of Henk van Bergen. Despite the wide range of riding levels, Mr. van Bergen treated each of us with equal measures of respect, kindness and his signature passion. His professional, yet light-hearted approach was mirrored by the friendly audience. This clinic was worth every cent; what I learned in one session in that exceptional facility with that amazing teacher will last a lifetime. When Mr. van Bergen next comes to Mistover, I’ll be sure to sign up early so that I can ride each of my horses with him."

Jayne,
"Thank you for organizing a great show this past Saturday.
You struck the perfect balance between serious competition
and a warm, friendly gathering. Everyone, from the judges on was supportive and encouraging. It was my first show since
1962 and a perfect reintroduction to companionable
competition."

Good
morning Jayne,
"I have to thank you so SO much for the incredible experience Nemo and I had
with Jane Savoie and
you and everyone at Mistover this weekend.
This was my very first riding
clinic, and I must say, I've come away with more tools to help Nemo
and me progress than I could have hoped for -- Jane works some real magic!
And my Mistover stay was one of a kind. The atmosphere is so
open and happy --- even the horses seem to smile! Everyone was
so kind and gracious and helpful, and Nemo's care was superb.
My
sister Nancy and I felt welcomed by everyone. Your
facility is like none I've ever seen.
So thank you again. I'll be grinning for
months. And hoping I can return for another wonderful
experience! "

"For any riders longing to take their horses on a vacation from the dreariness of winter, I highly recommend a few days or weeks taking lessons from the talented trainers at Mistover and/or attending one of their many top notch clinics.
The beautiful location, incredible facilities, heated arena, friendly atmosphere, and top level care warms up the body and soul, both for horse and rider. And the nearby Pawling Bed & Breakfast provides equally deep bedding and nutritious feed for humans."

“I had two lessons at Mistover last weekend - one with Jayne and one with
Karen; it was so much fun, and boy did I learn alot!
Hoping to do that more often.”
“Mistover is not only a beautiful place with wonderful amenities, but it’s the people: the trainers, boarders and staff, that make it a great place to be. There have been times when I would be away from my horse for weeks at a time, and I never have any doubt that my horse had excellent care. When I receive personal phone calls from my trainer and/or the barn manager letting me know how my horse is doing, I can’t imagine boarding my horse anywhere else.”

"I don’t come to Mistover as much as I would like, but when I get to come…It is always a fine day!
Every one in the barn, and especially in the tack room, are always so nice to me. They always say hello and pat me and tell me how nice it is to see me.
A lot of times there is something good to eat on that counter, I know… I can smell it! And I always manage to get a small treat or two.
But there are times when a rider comes….she brings these plastic boxes. When those boxes are opened, the counter smells really good! Those are the best days…everyone is in a really good mood then!"

Six years we've been part of the Mistover family and I think that they were the happiest of Thistle's life. I know that I've never enjoyed a barn more.
