WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY
Welcoming. Kind. Non-judgmental. Warm. Professional. Teacher-at-heart. All words to best describe Kirsty. I was looking for a driving instructor to grow my basic knowledge. I was new to the Bucks County area, took a lesson, attended a few of her driving clinics, and was drawn to her patience. Not once was I ever made to feel out-of-place, that any question was dumb, or shouldn’t be asked. My goals are to continue to grow my confidence, and be better tuned into what my mini needs to be happy on his cart. Time is well spent when with Kirsty!

I’m so excited and happy for Kirsty’s new adventure. I know her as my friend and trainer. Kirsty’s passion and dedication are genuine. She honestly wants you to succeed in riding and feel confident. She’s truly an inspiration. I struggled with fear after a fall last year. Kirsty’s kind and gentle nature has helped me so much in gaining my confidence back. I look forward to every lesson with her. She has taught me so much on and off the horse. Jasper was one of the sweetest horses ever. I loved seeing his beautiful little face every time I saw him.

I’ve been training with Kirsty for more than a year. After over 7 years of unsuccessfully trying to train my miniature horse to drive using books and videos, I saw her advertise for lessons, and began. Now I’m able to successfully ground drive my little man, and I suspect we’re very close to actually driving with a cart! Her training me on well trained driving horses has allowed me to get the knowledge and confidence needed to train my little guy much more effectively! Not only that, but what she teaches me in driving lessons has also been helping me greatly in riding!“

The two little guys, Luke & Lenny, pictured were trained for driving by Kirsty Sztenderowicz a few years ago. Their lives, as well as mine, were enriched through our association with Kirsty. I learned along with our thoroughly loveable little donks. Kirsty exhibited patience with them and with me! She was not only patient with all of us; she was always encouraging. She helped me to identify miscues, miscommunications, and mistakes as I worked with them and she thoroughly explained and demonstrated how to fix them. My husband and I truly appreciated Kirsty’s understanding of “donkey time.” She met them where they were and expertly and patiently guided them to where they needed to be. I also appreciated and greatly valued my lessons with her amazing little Jasper. I have much more to learn and wish we could get a refresher, but we moved 5 hours away.

I can’t say enough great things about Kirsty. When it came to helping me with my driving goals with my green mini she was not afraid to try different methods or adjust her approach to help us be successful. What I really appreciated was her honesty and realism. She set achievable goals and communicated clearly about what was possible.
Every session was productive, positive, and tailored to both our needs. You can tell she genuinely cares about creating lasting results, not just quick fixes. I’ve seen real progress thanks to her willingness to adapt and her open-minded, thoughtful training style.
Highly recommend!

Kirsty is just fantastic. Not only is she an expert at what she does, helping my horse become confident and secure during his driving instruction, she is incredibly warm and approachable on both a horse and human perspective. She really cares, which is a quality that can be difficult to find and most importantly, incredibly professional and reliable.
