“Last year, a few of my students and I drove 8 hours with 6 horses in tow, in sweltering August heat no less, to ride with Greg” said Lisa DeMayo, “and it was completely worth it! Greg is a great instructor, incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful, but also a lot of fun. When he agreed to come to Williamstown, we were ecstatic! I encourage anyone working to improve their jumping skills to take advantage of this unique opportunity to ride with one of the greats.”
