Testimonials

"Liana has done remarkable work with my Oldenburg gelding, Cervantes, who is an opinionated horse with a a very large personality. He is as supple and obedient now as he ever could be. My hunter/jumper clients gather to watch the work that Liana does with 'Thom', marveling at his supple floating gaits. What Liana has done with this horse makes me want to resume dressage work to develop the suppleness that I see her creating."

- Teri Duplass, owner, manager and lead trainer at the Phoenix Farm Equestrian Center.

"Jump-starting a career is what sometimes horses need. After 9 months of rehab training with Liana my 19y.o. Tango found a new home as a riding horse. Thank you again. He will be loved, honored, and cared for just as he always has and how he deserves."

- Jenny Nell, Program Director at Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center.

"It is important to have a trainer you can trust to help you grow and provide challenges in order to make you a better rider. Training with Liana on Alibi helped me grow tremendously over the last few years compared to what I would be able to do on my own or with another trainer, I believe. Liana's input is in all of my achievements, not only in riding, but in life as well."

- Evgenia Stenberg, young rider and UW MBA student

"I am very happy with you. You have done your homework. Now go for FEI (shows) in US."

- Conrad Schumacher, FEI Coach, Clinician

"Can I just tell you how many times I was told by both Liana and Janice, "YOU HAVE TO TURN YOUR RIB CAGE." I capitalized it because I was told sooooo many times and I never really got it. I can still hear Liana's voice in my head as I worked on the same square over and over hearing the same "Turn your rib cage" over and over. Today, I am proud to announce it clicked!!! I was trotting around looking at my horses neck and wondering why we were not able to turn ever, and then I turned my rib cage, and we turned. We didn't just turn but we turned in balance with the same tempo. I also stopped looking at his neck, which was also very helpful. It was amazing."

- Megan Cook, rider and colleage student

"I naturally have a good feel for a horse. But a feel is tricky sometimes. A well-schooled horse gives reactions that correct your feel, help match it with actual performance. That is why my choice fell on Luigi when I needed experience on a fine-tuned horse, and on Liana's instructions for me and my young stallion."

- Sheila Buchanan, Off Broadway Farm owner and manager.

"In just 6 months of caring and consistent training my horse changed from a ‘bucking mustang’ to a pleasant and polite stable citizen, and then a successful competitor at USDF recognized shows."

- Inna McGrail, owner of 6 y.o. imported Holsteiner gelding Luigi.

"Liana has vision for developing both a horse and a rider. In every riding or teaching session she makes a clear difference bringing partners together."

- Sonja M. Vracko, "S" USDF, "I" USEF Judge, Clinician.
