Brittany is an amazing trainer! I like her because she is challenging, but she doesn’t push you too hard. She is encouraging, and she will support you with whatever decisions you make.

Meadow Brook Stables is an absolutely wonderful place to learn to ride and fall in love with the beautiful horses at the barn. Brittany Balagna Nystedt, the trainer, is extremely hard working and puts her heart and soul into the horses and the riders and it shows through the beauty of their performances and the pure joy exhibited from the riders. Ms. Brittany is an amazing instructor to her riding students and teaches with patience, understanding and passion! She has fantastic attention to details and is brilliant in tailoring her lesson to each rider. We are also very appreciative of the time she takes to educate families who are new to horseback riding. We have been training at Meadow Brook Stables for nearly five years and it has been the most rewarding and educational experience for my daughter to ride out at Meadow Brook Stables.

I love Meadow Brook Stables and think it is a very good learning and kid friendly environment. Everyone there is super nice and all of the horses are great companions. I love being able to ride and help care for the horses. All the riders and horses are very well trained by Ms. Brittany, the trainer.

I feel so lucky to have found Brittany to instruct my daughter, Alyssa! Alyssa has been riding with Brittany for 3 years. Brittany relates well to her students and finds connections from their lives to help them understand how to improve their riding. She is patient but demanding and fun. She has helped to build confidence in Alyssa and clearly takes pleasure in watching her grow and excel.  Alyssa has learned from Brittany not only how to ride well but also how to respect her horse as well as the time, energy and work that goes into horseback riding. I would not hesitate to recommend Brittany to any rider: young, old, new or seasoned.
