"I’m relying on Maša’s expertise for about 15 years now and I have never been disappointed. Her wholistic knowledge, her keen eye and last but not least her honesty aren’t only helpful in lessons and online- lessons but also when it comes to purchasing new horses. It’s incredibly valuable for me to have someone like Maša who already saved me several times from buying horses that wouldn’t have suited me in the end!"

"Maša is a fantastic coach who has the right balance of pushing you out of your comfort zone but also being understanding and supportive. She makes you feel confidence and you always learn a lot from her lessons. Would highly recommend Maša to bring out the best in you and your horse at any stage of your riding journey"
Rachel Walsh

"Masa is not only a highly skilled horse trainer but an exceptional horse riding coach. Whilst working with Masa in the UK she also trained me and improved my riding skills by encouraging and believing in me and my horse.
Although we parted ways, Masa still accompanies me on my riding adventures. She coaches me through online courses with the extraordinary talent to strengthen my confidence to achieve my riding goals I desire.
I highly recommend Masa, and I trust her to provide the training that is best for me and my horse''
Mandy Kulczynski
Australia
"Maša has been highly engaged in teaching my daughter dressage.
My daughter has improved greatly during this period.
We know Maša as a woman of fine character. She is honest, reliable, willing to work and has a cheerful disposition.
She also rode and looked after our horses when I was away.
I can recommend Maša without any reservation whatsoever."
Janne Rintelen-Spinsanti

"Masa's ability to connect with students, identifying their strengths and weakness is second to none. She has excellent theoretical knowledge, is extremely organized and is able to teach
in foreign languages (in my case German language). Masa thought my 4 children in dressage, show jumping and cross country. She is a very good, calm and positive teacher. She explains the way of riding in a very good understandable way, especially for children. Masa has been with us to lots of different shows and German national pony eventing
competition. She is a very reliable person and with her positive attitude she helped me and my children a lot."
Katinka Krueger
Germany
"I had the pleasure of working with Masa during our time in the UAE. She’s loves and cares for the horses and always gave more than asked of her. There was a clear change in the horses mobility when she rode and I would trust her 100% with the training of my own horses. With Masa you can trust you’re in safe and qualified hands!"
