Crimson Jewel Equestrian

"After not being in the saddle for 30 years, Odessa not only made it possible, but helped me reclaim my passion! She differentiates instruction with all of her clients, which allows success for each. The atmosphere is professional and positive. I have thoroughly enjoyed my 1.5 years with them!"

"Odessa is a wonderful instructor who does an amazing job of tailoring her teaching to what each student needs. I've been riding since I was a child, but Odessa has taken my riding to a whole new level. She has good lesson horses with a lot of training and personality too. Riding at Crimson Jewel is a great experience!"

"If you want to learn how to really ride correctly and communicate best with your horse - Crimson Jewel is where you want to ride and Odessa is the best trainer."

"Crimson Jewel Stables is hands down the most professional, courteous and high quality riding instruction I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Odessa Johnson is highly knowledgeable, has a God given talent and was truly put on this Earth to teach people how to ride horses, properly! There are so many other riding instruction programs out there that simply teach a child to ride adequately however at Crimson Jewel, students learn all functions of horse care and are exposed to riding multiple horses throughout their lessons which is extremely important to developing true horsemanship skills. Most riders can master riding one horse but it is profoundly important to ride various horses at different skill levels and with unique demeanors to truly become an exceptional and well rounded equestrian. Also, other riding programs will not teach you how to properly groom, lead, halter, saddle your own horse and this is at the detriment of any young rider. No matter how big or small, at Crimson Jewel you learn how to properly care for your lesson horse, a value that is more important than I can explain. I could type for hours on how Crimson Jewel/Odessa Johnson set a new standard in horsemanship for myself and for so many others but I'll let you figure it out on your own! You will not be disappointed in choosing Odessa as a riding instructor!"

"A year ago I found Odessa and Crimson Jewel Stables for my 7 year old who wanted to learn to ride. My main concern was her safety both on and off the horses. Odessa has shown me over and over again that my daughters safety is her number one concern, plus my daughter is having the time of her life! She LOVES the lessons and wants to be there all the time. Odessa is an amazing instructor and I am completely comfortable with the horses she uses. My daughter adores her and loves the stable. The other students have all been so kind, encouraging and helpful. The older students are fantastic role models for her. Even the people who board their horses there have been incredibly inviting and friendly and take the time to ask us how the lessons are going. We really feel like we are part of a big family there. I have two friends who have started taking their daughters to Crimson Jewel and they are both very pleased. I would recommend Odessa and Crimson Jewel Stables without hesitation."
