I have been working with Marissa for the past two days and have to say how wonderful she is. She has a way with horses. I have been working with a stubborn green mare and I needed help with our liberty. Marissa took the lead rope won over the mare and taught me how to earn respect, love and discipline. I’m so excited I’ve started this liberty journey with Marissa!All reactions:33
