ANM Dressage Training & Lessons in Alpharetta

I have ridden and trained with Ashley Marascalco for over 15 years. I have learned so much from her and my horses have thrived in her knowledgeable and loving care! We took my last one from 1st level to GP and are on that path with my new boy! Her integrity, respect for horse and rider are impeccable😍

My experience with Ashley was 100% positive. I came to the gorgeous Seventh Hand Farm to try a horse she was representing. She rode it beautifully and when I got on to ride him I quickly realized this was the horse for me. Ashley put absolutely no pressure on me to buy him. When the decision was made to purchase him, Ashley facilitated all aspects of the sale. In summary, I can only say positive things about Ashley and the horse I purchased. She has continued to keep in touch to assure all is well and it is much appreciated.

Ashley is a very talented rider and an excellent trainer and instructor. She is extremely effective when riding my pony, which brings out the best in him. She is able to communicate what she does and the theory behind it to help me improve my riding. This has resulted in a remarkable improvement in my pony’s gaits and his ability to use his body more correctly. Ashley is patient, positive and instills confidence in me and my pony. I thoroughly enjoy working with her, and greatly appreciate her efforts in helping me to reach my goals. ❤️❤️

Ashley is an amazing coach and an even better person. She truly cares about your development as a rider and, just as importantly, about the health, happiness, and progress of the horses she works with. My daughter Brooklyn started out jumping, but she eventually fell in love with dressage. When she decided she wanted to take her dressage riding to the next level, we honestly hit the jackpot when we found Ashley. Ashley began coaching our daughter less than a year ago, and in that short time, my daughter became a Bronze Medalist at just 11 years old. Even more incredible, our once-eventing horse has completely transformed into a beautiful, confident dressage horse. As you can see below, the before and after photo of our horse that occurred under a year with Ashley is incredible. Ashley provides outstanding coaching, but what truly sets her apart is how much she prioritizes the wellbeing of both the rider and the horse. In the beginning, our horse took a while to settle in because he doesn’t handle change easily. Ashley went above and beyond to figure out what he needed to feel comfortable, healthier, and more confident so the process could be safe and successful for him. Ashley also took the time to sit down with my daughter and clearly lay out what she and her horse could accomplish and exactly how they could get there — and then she helped them make it happen. And you’re not just getting an amazing coach — you’re gaining her entire team. Ashley works directly with a trusted group of professionals, including our vet, dentist, nutritionist, sports psychologist, barn manager, saddle fitter, assistant coach Addyson and more. Everyone works together to identify what you and your horse need in order to succeed. Ashley is an outstanding role model in the dressage world — as a rider, coach, and truly a second mom to our daughter. She is now, and forever will be, a part of our family, and we are so lucky to have her. If you are serious about growing as a rider and want your horse trained safely and correctly to excel through the levels, Ashley is absolutely the right person. Truly the best coach in all of Georgia!!!!
