"Kim Novicky was my first teacher when I started horse riding. I rode with Kim for 3 years and I had fun every time I was in her class. Her class was all about learning and being safe at the same time. She taught me everything I needed to know to move up to a more advanced class. I could not have asked for a better first teacher. My whole family loves her and I would recommend her to anyone that is interested in beginning horse riding."

"Kim,
Maja has been with you for over a year now and she has grown so much in that time! Her riding is beyond where I thought she would be at this point. You have been such a wonderful and patient teacher! Maja's excitement has only grown in this time with you and I look forward to watching her grow even more thanks to you! Thank you again for all you do!"

"My daughter has been taking English lessons from Kim for a couple years now. I like Kim's gentle but effective methods for helping my daughter learn. I have seen Kim teach both adults and children, but she is always aware of the individual, and allows each person to learn at their own pace, not an imaginary agenda of the teacher. I have never heard Kim raise her voice or put down my daughter in any way. My daughter had taken lessons at another place in Gilbert and learned more in her first two months with Kim than she learned in over a year there. I would recommend Kim to anyone!"

"Kim,
Thank you so much, you taught me a lot, these past few years. You have brought me a long way, and built up my passion to ride horses. You taught me how to take care of the horses, learn about them and how to ride."

"I rode with Ms. Kim for over two years. During that time as my riding instructor, I found her to be very patient with me, helpful, diligent about getting my faults worked on and many other qualities. She was great during the times I was trying to work off my faults, not getting impatient, but keeping at it. I found her to be really helpful for basically anything, from tacking up the horse to mounting, but she always made sure that I learned, not babying me, which I really appreciated. I also appreciated her making sure that I built up strong muscles, though at times I wished that there was a less painful way! Because of the years with her, I am now a better rider with more understanding of horses, which came from the lessons she taught me, not only on riding but other aspects as well. For example are the gaits of a horse. Until she taught me I had no clue how a horse moved, but now I am well informed! I want to give her my sincere thanks and hope that her other students will have as good of an experience as I did!"

"I came to Kim as an adult for her to help me become a more confident rider, gain a better relationship with my horse, and learn western riding skills. Kim has been so patient and wonderful through my journey to achieve these goals. I would recommend Kim regardless of skill level or age to help meet your goals and become a better more confident rider."

"I began taking riding lessons as a way to expand my knowledge and comfort level with horses. I am a pediatric physical therapist and I use horseback riding as a treatment tool (hippotherapy) with many of my clients. Kim has been excellent in helping me learn comfort with the basics of horsemanship from taking the horse out of the stall to learning how to lope. I am sure it will make me a better therapist when I work with my clients and it has been a lot of fun. I look forward to my lesson every week!"

"I have always loved horses and wished to take riding lessons even though I had never been on a horse. Last year I turned 40 years old and decided it was time to try something new. Fortunately, I was referred to Kim as an instructor who has proven to be a wonderful teacher. I admire her knowledge and skill with horses and appreciate her patience and great sense of humor. Learning the beginning skills of horsemanship has been more challenging and rewarding than I imagined it could be. Thanks Kim!"
