"In my first year at the barn, both Pickles and I have grown tremendously. He’s happier than ever, thriving with his pasture mates, and his overall demeanor and condition have completely transformed. Together, we reached many of our adult amateur goals, including competing in our first dressage show, and our partnership has deepened in meaningful ways.

Amber has supported me with unwavering positivity and determination, helping me overcome significant riding fears and hurdles. She is a joy to train with and even introduced us to western dressage, which we’re excited to pursue this year. Her encouragement has renewed my passion for riding and inspired me to push past every boundary. The barn community she’s created is just as special—welcoming, supportive, and united by a shared love and commitment to our horses. Amber is an exceptional caretaker and trainer, and simply a wonderful person to be around. I’m so excited for what the future holds."

"Owning a horse has been my childhood dream, and I’m endlessly grateful to have found Amber and the ALE family. She ensures that my mare, Lainey, is always safe, happy, and well cared for. Amber is not only an insightful and gifted trainer, but also incredibly supportive of my personal journey as a rider. She’s there to guide me every step of the way while giving Lainey the confidence she needs in new situations that are beyond my current skill set. We truly couldn’t have found a better barn to call home."

Amber’s expert guidance has been truly transformational—not only for me, but for my horse, Kyzer as well. Through her thoughtful instruction and unwavering support, our skills strengthened, our partnership deepened, and our progress exceeded my expectations. I’m incredibly grateful to be part of a program where growth is encouraged, confidence is restored, and anything truly feels possible.”

“I am incredibly grateful to have been accepted into the Amber Lopresti Equestrian program and cannot recommend Amber highly enough. Coming from a Hunter background, I was seeking a program that would prioritize thoughtful, correct development rather than rushed progress—and Amber has exceeded every expectation.

Amber is deeply committed to proper fundamentals, helping riders rebuild their position from the ground up while developing a true understanding of correct equitation. She has a rare ability to clearly explain how the horse should use his body and how the rider’s position and aids support that work. Her instruction is classical, precise, and always rooted in what is best for the horse.

Beyond her exceptional teaching, Amber has been an invaluable partner in helping me find the right horse—one suited to my goals, abilities, and long‑term aspirations. She approaches this process with honesty, care, and genuine investment in her riders’ success.

What truly sets Amber apart is that all of this correct, disciplined work takes place in an atmosphere that is positive, encouraging, and truly enjoyable. Her program challenges you to improve every ride while reminding you why you fell in love with horses in the first place. I feel incredibly fortunate to be learning from Amber and wholeheartedly recommend Amber Lopresti Equestrian to any rider seeking correct training, thoughtful horsemanship, and a supportive, joyful program.”

“At a time when we urgently needed a new barn, discovering Amber and Alex at ALE felt nothing short of a blessing. From the very start, we were welcomed with genuine kindness and open arms. Our horse was navigating multiple health challenges and could be reactive, but the care, patience, and compassion shown by the ALE team meant everything to us.

Equally important, we have an autistic daughter, and finding an environment where she felt safe, comfortable, and truly accepted was essential. Amber and the entire ALE family embraced her immediately, making her feel loved and completely at home.

Amber is truly exceptional, and ALE has become the home we didn’t even realize we needed. We are endlessly grateful to be part of such a supportive, understanding, and compassionate barn community.”

“Amber’s biomechanics-based training has been truly transformative for my riding. Her approach brought clarity and purpose to my position, communication, and overall effectiveness in the saddle. The improvement in my partnership with my horse has been remarkable—I feel more balanced, connected, and confident every ride. This training has been a complete game changer.”

“We are incredibly grateful to be part of Amber Lopresti Equestrian. Our four‑year‑old Quarter Horse has truly flourished in ALE’s Western Dressage program. Amber brings a remarkable depth of knowledge, thoughtfully combining a customized training program with a balanced nutrition plan tailored to our horse’s individual needs. Her exceptional eye for biomechanics helps horse and rider find true harmony, and she is a coach our family deeply respects. She has also cultivated a safe, supportive, and welcoming barn environment where adult amateurs can confidently grow and enjoy their equestrian journey. The overall level of care is further elevated by Alex, our barn farrier, whose talent, knowledge, and professionalism give us complete confidence in our horse’s soundness and well‑being.”

“I’m grateful my daughter is part of the ALE training program. Amber is exceptional with horses and leads with kindness, patience, and positivity. Her approach immediately stood out from other trainers, and it has transformed my daughter’s confidence and love for the sport.

The facility is beautifully maintained—with a covered arena, multiple pastures, and an organized barn—which made choosing Amber and ALE an easy decision. Her commitment goes far beyond riding lessons; she teaches responsibility, horse care, and the value of hard work. My daughter now spends countless hours at the barn simply because she loves it.

Amber also has a remarkable talent for solving challenging horse issues. When my daughter’s pony arrived, she had a long history of bucking with young riders. Amber and Alex identified the cause and, within a few months, resolved a problem that had persisted for years.

We gladly drive 35–45 minutes each way to Holbrook Farms. The quality of Amber’s program and the impact she’s had on our daughter make every mile worth it.”

“I’ve been riding at ALE for nearly three years. When I first joined the program, I had a little bit of general riding experience, but I didn’t know anything about dressage. Under Mrs. Amber’s coaching, I’ve grown tremendously—not only as a rider, but as a person. She has a way of teaching that helps everything “click,” and she always encourages me to believe in myself and trust the process. I’m incredibly grateful for everything I’ve learned and for the confidence I’ve gained from being part of her program.

Being at ALE has taught me so much more than just riding. It has taught me responsibility, patience, hard work, and how to truly care for a horse. The environment here is positive, encouraging, and focused on helping both riders and horses thrive. I love spending time at the barn, and I feel proud of how far Bon Bon and I have come together. I’m truly thankful for everything ALE—and especially Mrs. Amber—has done for both of us.”
