I contacted Dawn as an adult novice rider looking for a starting point with my gelding, who had some trust and confidence issues.  Through her knowledge as a Parelli student, she gave me a wonderfully systematic approach for building a relationship with my horse that has opened many possibilities.  Also, based upon her years of dressage experience, she has given me an education in fundamentals and a balanced seat that I know will serve me well whether my riding leads me down the trails or into the arena.  Best of all, she has helped me achieve my goals at my own pace and with a sense of humor that has made riding relaxing and rewarding. - Kris Batchelor – Davidson NC

It has been my pleasure to train and coach Dawn Roth in the sport of Dressage. Her  talent and dedication is proven by her ability to move up the levels successfully and with her wins in the competition ring.  Dawn’s strong work ethic, great attitude, and bright smile will make her successful in any endeavor she chooses. - Stacey Hastings – Davidson NC

Parelli Natural Horsemanship feels completely intuitive and logical. When I discovered PNH through Dawn’s instruction, I also discovered a new way to be with and to interact with my horse.  There are no gimmicks there, no artificial and burdensome ways to help you achieve your goals; just infinite respect for the personality of the horse and rider, and a completely individualized  way to teach.  I thought I was listening to what my horse had to say…   until Dawn came along with her enthusiasm, passion and sense of humor, and her solid knowledge and experience of horsemanship.   My 23 year old mare and I are now communicating more fully and more playfully, and looking forward to many more years of a true dialogue, both on the ground and in the saddle. - Veronique Singerman - Mooresville, NC

I am so excited with the progress that I've been making since I've started working with Dawn regularly. My horse Smokie is exuberant and offers so much more now that I understand how to use my Parelli tools. Many of the people at my barn have been so impressed by my progress and how happy my horse is that now they have embarked on the Parelli journey! Thank You Dawn - Nicole Pfeifer - Huntersville NC

As an adult re-entering the horse world after too many years I found myself lacking in the confidence that came second nature as a child. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be learning from Dawn and the Parelli Natural Horsemanship method. Establishing a relationship with my horse on the ground has helped build my communication, trust and confidence! Now when I come to play, I feel like I have a partner and therefore I have a much more relaxing experience. It all makes perfect sense. My lessons with Dawn are challenging but fun and I leave each one feeling very excited and looking forward to the next. Dawn is an enthusiastic and motivating instructor and I can't wait to learn more from her! -Lauren Copeland, Huntersville NC
