Holly uses her many years of experience as a riding instructor to help teach riders new to horses how to work safely and progress with their personal goals. She uses her vast background to focus on great basics for the Hunter/Jumper ring, teaching students of all levels.

​

New riders start off with our beginner lessons, where Holly closely manages and demonstrates how to safely work around a horse or pony. Riders learn the basic skills of leading, grooming, and tacking their horse prior to getting in the saddle. In working on the ground first, the rider feels less nervous about actually getting on as they have already started to form a bond with their horse.

Kasey might as well have been born on the back of a horse, considering her first official pony ride came at only a few months old! From a young age, she showed promise as a talented rider, but more than that exhibited a strong work ethic and genuine love for the sport. Her determination and skill have brought her success at local and AA-rated shows over the years and allowed her to ride with clinicians such as Greg Best and Bernie Traurig. Beyond her riding abilities, Kasey has been a licensed instructor since 2017 and has brought up her own group of students. Her patience allows students to feel comfortable enough to make mistakes and learn from them, while her knowledge helps guide them with the proper tools to improve. She believes in the fundamentals of riding and the role horsemanship plays in a rider's success. Kasey has bestowed upon her students how not only to ride horses but how to be a true equestrian.

Anna has been enamored with horses since she was a little girl. She began taking lessons at her local stable and from there fully immersed herself in becoming an equestrian. She was lucky enough to buy the mare she leased and competed on the local and AA circuit in both hunters and jumpers. After years of volunteering and taking lessons, she started to apprentice as an instructor and began running horse camp and teaching lessons. From there she got the opportunity to manage and travel on the road with a hunter jumper barn before starting college. 

​

She graduated from Simmons University with her bachelor’s of science in nursing in 2019. After working through the pandemic as an RN and only teaching lessons on her days off, she finally decided to listen to her gut and make instructing her full time career- she hasn’t looked back since. She emphasizes safety, horsemanship, and enjoyment of the sport in her lessons. She hopes to cultivate an exciting and open learning environment for her students to grow.

Natella graduated from Brown University in 2013 and has been with Maplewood since. She manages all financial aspects of the business and can often be found in the office, or reached via email for billing and scheduling inquiries. 

Sophie is a recent college graduate from Johnson & Wales University where she was on the IHSA team and majored in marketing. She is in charge of all of our social media and marketing efforts.
