Our Girl Scout troop rode at Kinni Valley in Sept, the girls had so much fun, we returned in October for a 3 hour lesson/ride. The staff is WONDERFUL! The horses were very friendly and the staff did a fabulous job matching horse to rider. The girls had a GREAT time, we will definitely be back for more riding at Kinni Valley!- Lori Kosak, Woodbury, MN

 I came to Kinni Valley Academy with very little confidence. Carolyn has tailored the lessons to help me feel confident and secure. She encourages me and makes me want to do more and try more. She makes everyone feel like a friend, not a client".- Judith Kayser, Woodbury, MN

 I've been riding at Kinni Valley for 5 weeks and I already feel at home! Everyone is so friendly, and so are the horses. They welcome all kinds of riders, whether you’re interested in English or Western, showing or leisure riding. I'm always having fun and I never feel unsafe.‎"- Jennifer S. Woodbury, MN

 Our troop so enjoyed their experience at your riding stable, that immediately after the event, they wanted to return. This became the inspiration for our 2011 cookie campaign. The girls calculated how many cookies they would each have to sell to pay for the next level badge program. As the leader, I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the facility, Carolyn\'s attention to the girls during the ride, the quality of the lesson they received and of course, the beautiful scenery. Thanks for having this as a program!" - Elda Bloemendal, Oakdale, MN

Kinni Valley Academy has every feature we were looking for in a stable and instruction...but did not expect to find. It is the highlight of our child's week."- Patricia Cangemi, St. Paul, MN

Your stable's operation is everything that was promised. My take-home lesson was that it's not so much what you do when you ride as it is how you are: clear, firm, prompt, relaxed, confident, fearless, and happy. A formula for life!"- Don Judges

After not riding for almost ten years, I am now 'back in the saddle again,' taking lessons from Carolyn and enjoying touching up my previous skills, as well as making the shift from Western to English riding! Carolyn has helped me build my skills and challenges me to become a more refined rider!"- Mary Paulson, River Falls, WI
