(Now my 9 year old daughter rides with her as well!) Tara has the gift of teaching. She connects so naturally with her students, values good horsemanship and works to develop well rounded and skilled equestrians. Tara has excellent lesson ponies and horses, good for both beginners and advanced riders. When you take lessons with Tara you are not just one of her students, you become a member of the Bravado Farms "family." L. Jennings

The shelter of stray cats that Gayle maintains and transitions feral cats into tamed cats that "watch" the stable is almost fairytale like. You can witness at least 1 cat in the stable with a horse snuggling, hissing, or grooming. Being at the farm reminds me of the movie "water for Elephants" If this is the business you're looking for- I highly suggest the Farms @ Del Mar

I'm not sure it's exactly like riding a bike--but Karen made me feel completely at ease from the start. Kiwi, my horse, was incredibly patient and gentle with me. I swear she knew I needed a little extra TLC! It made the whole experience so enjoyable and stress-free. I even got to do a tiny bit of trotting, which was such a fun bonus. Overall, it was such a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to try horseback riding or get back into it!

But Karla welcomed me in, believed in me from day one, and had me back in the ring within just a few months. Her lessons are clear, supportive, and always push me to improve. She challenges you in all the right ways, with just the right balance of patience and encouragement. Even on tough days, I leave feeling motivated and proud of the progress I'm making. Karla truly cares--not just about your success as a rider, but about you as a whole person. I feel incredibly lucky to be learning from her.

Anyway, I checked google for a BMW mechanic, there is an issue with the smog check that needs to be corrected. I found Beemer Club through a google search and thought I would give them a try. I spoke to Evan and told him what was going on, he has been extremely helpful with my BMW, He has been helping me trace down what is causing the smog issue on the car,. I explained to him that I am on a small fixed income and cant afford much. So far I have been extremely impressed with the Beemer Club, (Evan) he knows what he is doing and will go out of his way to work with you. Its is rare to meet a mechanic that I feel like I can trust right off the bat, In my experience it always seems that mechanics are always looking to make that extra buck and trust isn't a quality that most have, especially from the first meeting. I will defiantly continue taking my beautiful BMW to Beemer Club to keep it in the near showroom condition that it is in. I would give Evan more stars if I could. He is worth taking that chance on with your prized BMW! I recommend whole heartily
