What's Our Clients Say

Leaving my horse at their Virginia facility for certification was nerve-wracking, but their top-level communication and care made me feel completely at ease—true professionals. Highly recommend.

Grace T

I don’t ride or own horses, but witnessing the foaling process at Equine Etiquette was powerful and eye-opening. It gave me a whole new respect for the animals and the team!

Malik R

Every lesson here feels more like a visit with family than a training session—the love they pour into both horses and humans is unmatched.

Lena M

I was indecisive for months about buying, but one walk around their Maryland property changed everything—it just felt right, and now I’ve got my forever horse! Thank you, Equine team!

Jonathan P

We brought in a rescue gelding with trust issues, and through their patient training and rehab program, he’s become a completely different horse—confident, calm, and finally at peace. Beyond happy.
