CeCe is such an amazing equestrian trainer! My daughter has been riding with her for almost 4 years and we could not be happier. CeCe has a gift of understanding where the rider is and how they are relating to the horse they are training with. She’s incredibly talented!

Cece is the best equestrian coach! My daughter, a 9 year old, has been with Cece for more than 6 months now. She literally want to be coached by Cece 365 days a year and feel Cece is part of our family. I can see this is only possible because of Cece's excellent coaching style and dedication in equestrian education.

1. Cece is very methodical in her teaching. She can always find a way to let you understand how to ride and how to build up mental prepareness and awareness properly.
2. Cece is very knowledgeable. She knows very well horse Antonmy, horse care, medicine, tool kits, ....
3. Cece is very patient with the young kid. She encourages the young one to be able to overcome psychological barriers due to fear. My daughter shed happy tears with those successful moments.
4. Cece is very fun. She comes up fun games for the kids to play while riding the horses. She shows exercises off horse for kids to build their core muscles. She brings the students to fun trail rides. She has lots of great way for the kid to learn while having fun.
5. Cece is artist at heart. She pushed equestrian coaching to a level that the kids have the great chance to grow into an equestrian athlete with proper horsemanship.

We drive an hour each way to go to Cece's class. The distance is nothing compared to such great wonderful coach you can have.

I cannot describe how grateful we are that we stumbled upon Cece and Equestrian Riding Games. The ranch has become my daughter's second home. She has learned so much, and has grown leaps and bounds as an equestrian. I would recommend for anyone! Five stars, hands down.

All three of my grandchildren have been instructed by CeCe I have been so impressed by Cece’s patience with the riders and knowledge that she is willing to share. Being instructed by CeCe truly changes a child’s life and it will carry on to adulthood. I would highly recommend CeCe as a riding instructor

Cece is a professional trainer. She does not only teach riding skills but also most importantly, the horsemanship. She is super patient with her students. She always gives very detailed and clear instructions about how to ride horse correctly. We are very grateful to have her as a teacher because she not only teaches you to ride, but also helps form a better relationship with your horse as well

Cece is so awesome… I have gone from a “floppy fish” in the English saddle to a decent rider thanks to all her help and encouragement. Look forward to each lesson!!!

Cici is an incredible trainer and riding instructor! She is extremely knowledgeable in equine care and training, and is phenomenal at instructing students of all ages and capabilities. I think what makes her special is her ability to communicate in a way that helps you move past your apprehensions and fears, without making you feel like you’re a “bad rider.” Her knowledgeable, gentle and intuitive instruction is the only thing that got me unstuck and helped me progress to the next level of riding. I am forever grateful for her in this respect. I was getting so frustrated with myself because I knew I could do more, but my lack of self confidence in the saddle was stopping me from progressing like I wanted to. Cici was patient and helped me through it by giving me the tools I needed to get myself together.

Also, as a first time horse owner, I knew very little about horse care and health. Cici has helped me every step of the way in caring for my mare who was in bad shape when I took her on. I am so grateful to Cici because she helped me save this horse and get her into excellent health. Cici has turned my mare from a skinny, ill-tempered bucker into a sweet, well-behaved, respectful horse who is a talented jumper.

She turned my horse and my life around for the better!

It’s easy to see that Cici absolutely and truly loves what she does. She’s a true teacher and horsewoman, and I am so lucky that I found her!

Highly highly highly recommend!!
