Testimonials

“I have known Aidan Black for the last 3 years. He was initially referred to me because I had a difficult horse that needed re-training. Aidan has shown himself as a patient, effective and knowledgeable trainer and coach. I was so impressed with Aidan that he went on to ride 3 of my other horses and in fact provided several riding lessons to myself and my daughter. I would recommend him without any hesitation.”

-Donna Pledge, Dun Hollow Stables

“Aidan Black has been so helpful and informative this past year with coaching myself and my horse North. He is so patient when explaining things and really takes the time to break movements down so they are easy to understand and execute. I also really appreciate his knowledge on the horse and riders physiological make up. Being able to explain why things happen or aren’t happening from a muscle and body point of view is so crucial in understanding what is going on in your body or your horses.”

-Jessie Griscti, Bakers Saddlery

“As a boarder over the past number of years, I have had an opportunity to interact with Aidan Black and watch him handle horses confidently and carefully. But it was only recently that I have seen him train and ride, both his own Thoroughbred and a very sensitive and large young sport horse. I am impressed by Aidan’s quiet determination, riding skill, and unfailing good humour with his charges, though their levels vary widely. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer to bring their horse along or polish its skills, no matter its breeding or temperament. Simply put, he’s a good rider, he knows what he’s doing and he does it with unfailing regard for the horse.”
