Melissa Deal

I strongly believe that the rider/handler is the person who makes a horse's life worth living, and I am dedicated to making sure that riders have the knowledge and skills they need to provide the quality of life that every horse deserves. Additionally, it is equally important that each of you experiences the trust and affection that is possible in your equine partnerships. Further, it is my privilege to be able to offer relationship building opportunities for women and their horses in low stress learning environments. My passion for teaching, and riding, and my desire to learn so that I can help others is unquenchable!

Graduated	1999 at Clemson University
Degree	M.S. in Equine Physiology

“ I can't say enough good things about Melissa and what she has done for my daughter. Our first lesson with Melissa was 2 years ago. She got down on the barn floor with my daughter and talked about what her goals were, what she liked about riding and what she didn't like. That set the tone for how dedicated Melissa is and how in tune she is with her students. She has brought my daughter so far not only in her riding, but in her confidence and self esteem. Melissa's knowledge and dedication to the sport is incredible. Kathy, Wilmington North Carolina

“ Thank you, you helped me so much! You were able to help me focus on just two things on my horses today that made such a huge difference. I am now able to do more with my horses now than I was able to do on my own before the lesson. Pam, Maysville North Carolina
