“We love everything about GaitWay”​

They recently moved to a stunning location in Hillsborough with beautiful barns, pasture, and a covered arena. The mix of riders is a warm and supportive community. We are so happy with Amy’s training — she focuses on the health and safety of the rider and the horse. She is always working to learn and grow and helps her riders do the same.”
