Eaton Equestrian Center

"Three of my kids and I have been taking lessons for three years now. So impressed with Britta and Dana's skill in teaching all ages and personality. They prioritize the care of the horses and teaching horsemanship. They are patient, but still have high standards. I have gotten to work for them as well and I'm only more impressed. Running the equestrian center is non stop hard work! We so appreciate the respite and place of learning that Eaton Equestrian Centre continues to be for our family."

"I adore Eatons. I have worked and ridden there since 2018. They have an amazing lesson program that is suitable for many types of people, as well as two instructors with the students best interest in mind."

"The Eaton’s are wonderful trainers and people who care deeply for their clients and animals. I have taken both group and private lessons from them and have become a better rider and horse-woman for it. They have a number of horses from which they are able to teach riders specific skills from. After almost 10 years of riding with them… I look forward to my weekly lesson, and have continued to build my skill set with a fun group of adult amateur riders. I would recommend them over any other barn in Alaska."

"The family atmosphere, professionalism, knowledge, and passion for horses is so refreshing and inviting! Dana, Britta, and their team provide phenomenal services at Eaton Equestrian Center."

"I took lessons at Eaton for about 6 months while I lived in Anchorage, and I have nothing but great things to say about Dana and Britta. They each have their own style and nuances of teaching, but they are both very professional, knowledgeable, and fun. I've taken lessons in various places around the country and I would say they are at the top of the list. After working with instructors that can be impatient or even rude, it was so refreshing to work with these gals. They were always so flexible with my difficult schedule too! I anyways left my lesson feeling like I'd learned something valuable. Dana especially was so good at helping me see the value in what we'd done, even on the rare days when things didn't go so great (because of my mistakes usually). Some of the other things I loved about riding with Dana were that she is very technical and detail-oriented in her style. However, she was never pushy or overbearing, and ALWAYS explained the "why" behind what we were doing. I should add that all of the horses I rode at the stable were spectacular as well. I never felt unsafe or intimidated by the horses they matched me with. I've ridden western style all my life, but riding at Eaton made me realize how much more I have to learn in the world of English and jumping. Thanks so much, Dana and Britta! Miss you guys!"
