Using this website was great. Julie is a great instructor. I was nervous about picking an instructor because I am older and have not been on a horse for many years. Julie is very personable. She has a good sense of humor for working with adult riders. She is an excellent teacher- she cued right in to my needs and helped me feel comfortable right away. I would strongly recommend her.

Julie was very responsive to the needs of my 9 year old son, and was the perfect instructor for him. She made lessons fun and I always felt like he gained something each time.

It was always a pleasure to work with Julie and to watch our daughter become not only a great rider but learn the foundation of Equine care. Julie provided a safe, fun environment including camps, shows, trail rides... Most of all Julie expressed her passion for her students and her animals were very well trained and safe. I would highly recommend Julie Blackburn as a rider, trainer, equine care specialist and a genuine person.

Thank you so much Sandy. I miss teaching the kids in Michigan. Come visit me in Massachusetts some time!

I have worked with Julie At the Bridge Center helping her with lessons. She's great with the kids and a great person to be around! She always does what's best for the students and always make an extra effort around the barn. I love working with her!

I rode and boarded my horse with Julie for ten years; she is provides a safe, fun, and educational atmosphere. She cares deeply for both her clients and their horses. Whether you just wanted to improve your skills as pleasure rider or take your riding to the next competitive level she can accommodate. She does an especially good job with kids. If she was closer to where I live, without a doubt, I'd still be riding with her,
