I have been riding at Country Hill Farm for almost eleven years now, and through countless summer riding camps and clinics, I have as yet failed to find a more thorough yet informative yet approachable coach as Kathy Fremes. Her ability to make a complicated subject seem straightforward and engaging was perhaps no more clearly evident than during my first driving lesson with her. She took me through the steps of tacking up and driving in a professional and easy manner. She sat in the cart with me to demonstrate the appropriate techniques and give much needed hand-on support and encouragement. She managed to teach me all the basics of driving in a one hour period without making me feel rushed or flustered. She was perfectly able to judge my growing confidence and presented me with a variety of exercises which were in my skill set and yet interestingly challenging. Kathy Fremes gave me the most complete driving lesson I could ever wish for – she was also able to respond to all my questions about technique, equipment, history and the modern driving scene with confidence and poise. I have been taking lessons with her since I was seven, and she has never disappointed me once. Without a doubt, she will give you the most complete, informative and interesting lesson in driving you could ever wish for. Her pony, the Splash wonder, is also the definitive driving pony – small enough to be comfortable for beginners, and gentle and experienced enough to deal with a newbie’s mistakes without batting an eyelash. I could go on and on, but my point after taking one of Kathy’s driving lessons is – they are fantastic! If you want to learn to drive, then Kathy and Splash await you. Drive on!
