Mercedes Andazola Dressage LLC

This little review box cannot contain all of the positive things I have to say about Mercedes and her program. I have been in her program since 2013 and have cherished every moment of it. From her knowledge to her kindness, she is unmatched! More importantly, my horse loves her! I’m pretty sure he prefers her most days and I say that as a testament to her genuine heart and love for both horse and rider. Her talent spans equally from foundational young horse starting to success in the FEI rings. She earned her bronze, silver, and gold medals at a young age and is consistently an acclaimed rider by numerous Olympians and other notorious clinicians. To watch her, is to watch art in motion. There is no other way to describe her talent, equine connection, and ambition to be the best trainer possible to every horse and rider under her tutelage.

Mercedes is an incredibly talented trainer who is kind and patient with both horses and people. She helped me get back into dressage as a novice, but also works with well with higher level riders. She has a even temperament so you never have to guess what kind of mood she's in. Her knowledge of all things horses is outstanding and she's always happy to share. Simply a class act. Can't recommend her enough.

Mercedes is magnificent! After returning to horses from a 15+ year hiatus, Mercedes helped me get my confidence back in the saddle while at the same time helping me bring along a 4 y/o youngster. Her teaching style is open and adaptable to each horse/rider combination and she stresses the training scale to ensure the brought up correctly without any shortcuts in training. The best thing about her program is the supportive atmosphere among her students--we are one big family!!!

I have received excellent instruction as a returning rider after 35 years. After 5 months of lessons on a variety of lesson horses at High Valley Stables, I asked Mercedes to find a project horse to purchase. Mercedes found an exact match to my must have specific criteria. This horse was under her care in Full training already at High Valley. We, (my horse and I) have been in Full training with Mercedes since April 2017. I have seen an amazing transformation with my OTTB- training, a strong foundation in conditioning, personalized feeding regime to address my horse’s needs and at the core of this transformation is a dressage horse ready to go schooling shows and up the levels. In addition, Mercedes is knowledgeable, kind, and good humored. She has many horses in her training program on site as well as haul ins. Every horse is treated individually with a personalized training program for both horse and rider. Group training lessons are offered for skills such as Cavaletti training. Mercedes is attentive and timely answering questions and offering solutions for individual needs, both horse and rider. I feel lucky to have found an amazing trainer, a fantastic horse, a beautiful facility and quality owner/riders.

Love how I know my horse is getting a good education and reinforcement of his lessons from this lovely lady. I love the updates she sends me as well. She is so good with the baby horses.

No one answers the phones. It does not seem like a professional place because the voicemail is someones cell phone. Not sure how you expect business when no one is there to take a reservation...
