The Passion of Judy Hartman

Austin Horse Back RidingI have a passion that was put in my heart when I was a child. I have always loved teaching. From the young age of 14 years old and onward,  I was giving lessons to whoever wanted them. Now, I feel that I am in a place in my life that I am ready to move forward with this passion and make it a reality. I have learned a lot about human nature as well as horse nature. I was blessed to be able to be a working student for my horse education. I feel that with this knowledge I can give back to the children.
I love to see the smile on the kids face when they get on the horses for the very first time, or they accomplish something that they have worked so hard to figure out. I love to see the horses nuzzle up against the kids for the first time and how warm they can be to someone that has never touched a horse before.

I was put on this earth to have both kids and horses be a major part of my life. I have never felt more complete than I do now at this point in my life. I have a few, wonderful students that light up knowing they have a lesson and get to ride and groom the horses. Now I want to be able to touch more then just a few. I want to have an effect on hundreds of little ones! I want them to remember their time at the barn like I remember mine. The smiles and smells, the friendships and partnerships from both the horses and other kids. I want to give that back. I want to be their one constant smiling face and no matter how bad their day was at school they can come and give the horses a hug and get a nuzzle in return.
