"Ariel has worked with our younger quarter horse mare for a couple of years. She has done a great job channelling the little mare's "big motor" in a positive direction and taught her new skills. Ariel has also brought the mare back successfully from stifle surgery. We have no hesitation in trusting our horses to Ariel."

"I can’t say enough good things about Hug Performance Horses. Her honestly, work ethic, and dedication to each horse far exceeds expectations. Ariel always has a great selection of sale horses, from trail horses to show horses. 10/10!"

"Ariel is an amazing trainer and coach. Working with this talented professional is an absolute pleasure. Ariel is grounded, honest and the things she can do with horses is outstanding. We gave her two horses, one to help us sell to a great home where her talents will continue to be used, the second was our trail horse gelding. Our gelding was a solid citizen, but had limited buttons. Ariel, in two short months, got our guy picking up the correct leads, spinning and side passing. He's just a great horse and Ariel made him that much better. In addition, Ariel is a top notch coach. She will be straight forward and honest with you every step of the way. She has been working with our boys for two years and people can't believe that they have only been riding for that long. I can't say enough great things about Ariel...if you are in need of a trainer, coach or help looking for that next horse, don't hesitate to contact Hug Performance Horses."
