Testimonials from our lessons:

 

Hannah,

Thanks for doing the Dawson Forest overnight camp. Jordyn really enjoyed it and it is nice having someone we can trust with the care of our daughter. Thanks again to you and Bobby for all you do. Have a great week!

"Cassidy LOVED Dawson Forest!!!    Cassidy is still talking about it and will never forget the great time she had riding, hanging by the fire with her friends, camping and learning so much about how to plan for such an event.  That is what makes your camps so special!!!  They aren’t just about riding; they are about the entire experience of spending time with and caring for your horse no matter what activity you choose to do with it.    Taking Indy for us to enjoy the experience was just icing on the cake!  What an incredible time all the girls had.  Cassidy is still talking about how great Indy did crossing the water and how exciting and fun it was riding in the dark!

Thank you so much for the incredible experience for both myself (as camp Mom for a day) and Cassidy during the Dawson Forest Camp!!  I myself was thrilled to learn how to siphon water from a huge water barrel, set up temporary electric fencing, set up tents and all that is entailed with setting up camp with horses!  I now feel that I can take the family and our horses camping and I would actually know what to do.  Thank you.  Cassidy, Indy and I will remember this forever."

Dear Mrs. Hannah,
I just wanted to thank you for being such a good trainer! I was looking at the pictures from the show and saw some great pictures of me on Casi. The link below is my favorite because I have amazing form that I didn't have before coming to Wildewood. Also my head is turned looking for my next jump. I just was amazed by my improvement, so thank you!

"You know I'm a big advocate of helmets...now I have another personal reason to be.

Molly took a spill off Indy today. Indy just caught her 'toe' in the dirt and stumbled forward...sending Molly over her shoulder. Indy then went completely down (partially on Molly) and started floundering to get up. In the process, she stepped all over Molly---including one frightening step on Molly's helmet. It scraped the fabric right off the spot where she stepped. It would be Molly's scalp peeled back if it weren't for the helmet!

Thankfully no major injuries!! Molly had a swollen and very painful foot that was stepped on too---which we thought warranted x-rays. We were elated to hear there are no apparent fractures....just some bruising and tenderness for a few days. Other than some scrapes and a bruise where her helmet dug into her forehead, she's as good as ever.

Thank God for helmets...and trainers like you who insist kids wear them!" Michelle Lockart

"I can’t thank you enough for helping me gain my confidence back in the saddle. I was ready to give it all up, which would have been a MAJOR mistake. I have learned sooooo much and have so much more to learn. I am really enjoying myself while riding now vs. being worried about “what might happen next”. Thanks again."  Barb Donaldson

"Hannah,
 
I wanted to say thank you once again.  Mary Catherine and Justin had a wonderful week at camp.  I know this is something that they will always recall as one of their fondest memories of childhood.  See you soon.

"When Dealing with Bobby and Hannah, you experience a friendly, down home feeling that is uncommon in today's world. Hannah holds a passion and skill with horses that is truly unique and amazing. I lived the better part of my life on a farm in south Georgia but after working with Hannah my interest in not only riding but also horses in general was rekindled. Old or young, beginner or expert, taking lessons or having your horse broken in, you can't help but learn something new while having a good time." Brad Taylor

Dear Hannah:

 
I just wanted to send you a note of thanks for today's ride.  The boys and I are so glad we met you. 
 
Since Alex has started lessons with you I have seen him go from a beginner to a very confident rider is such a short time.  Today on the trail, I couldn't help but be impressed by his ease and comfort in the saddle. 
 
Joe is coming along also.  I never thought I would see him on a horse again, but you have patiently taken him from being fearful to comfortable in such a short time.  You never push too hard or ask too much of them.  Not only do you know your horses, but you have an innate ability to understand the rider's aptitude as well.
 
Thanks again,

This testimonial is about our summer camp.

Just wanted to let you know our ears are actually TIRED of hearing Molly go on and on about camp!  She has talked non-stop about all she got to do. She obviously had the time of her life.
We want to thank you and Bobby for the week of hard work you've put in. I can't imagine how exhausting it must be to have all those girls for a whole week! You deserve a day off tomorrow--and I hope you get one.
Hannah, you have no idea how it thrills us to see Molly easily throwing out comments like she did in today's show in front of all the adults. Her teachers who called her "painfully shy" would be so shocked at the confident person she's become. We've worked hard to foster that along--but the horse stuff really gets the credit. She's gained so much self-confidence through this whole sport. Thank you for being such an important part of that. You make her feel like she can do anything--and for that, we are eternally grateful.
Thanks again--we consider you a gift sent to us on Molly's behalf. You were so right a couple of years ago when I spoke with you for the first time. I explained to you how shy and quiet Molly was--and you told me you'd seen horses change that in a lot of little girls. I remember hanging up and thinking, "Oh--let it make Molly come out a little!" You were so right!
Get some rest--we'll see you later this next week. Email me when you'd like to come for lessons (if you're available)...we have some appts in the afternoons, but we'll work something out!
Rest and relax...
Michelle

This letter is from Kristy Hall and her daughter Hannah (age 9).

"Why WildeWood Farm is the BEST place to take riding lessons? My daughter Hannah has been taking from Mrs. Hannah Campbell for 1 year now. We learned about them because they attend the same church as we do. Hannah Campbell knows more about horses than anyone I've ever met. Besides the fact that she is the one of only a few whom is Monty Roberts Certified, she was raised on a horse farm. Her horses are trained to respect people. SAFETY has and never will be a worry I have when we are at WildeWood. Mrs. Hannah is very friendly and is always on time. Their farm is jut a fun place to be! Hannah (my daughter) also attended their horse camp last summer. She had the time of her life. It was just good, old fashioned fun, then add the fun of all the riding. Mrs. Hannah and Mr. Bobby are wonderful people and my daughter loves both of them, and so do I. The complete knowledge of horses and riding being taught at WildeWood can NOT be found anywhere else! I would recommend to anyone to come to WildeWood Farm."

This letter is from Savannah Napolitano (age 12):

"In a short amount of time at WildeWood (about 2 months), I have learned so much already. I've learned more than I actually thought there was to learn. It's all so much fun and I am enjoying it very much. Hannah matches you up with the ideal horse, if you're beginner or advanced, instead of just putting you on a horse that knows everything and does all of the work for you. I've already gotten to do so much in such a short time. If you are looking for a place to ride at where you get what you ask for, Hannah at WildeWood Farm is your best bet."

This is a side note from her dad, Frank: 

"Great lesson this afternoon - I swear, the girl comes home floating a foot off the ground. Whatever you do, please keep doing it!"

This letter is from Molly Lockart (age 10):

"Dear Hannah,
 
Thanks for teaching me how to ride and lots of neat things about horses. I especially like learning about cantering, jumping and endurance riding!
 It's great to come to WildeWood and see all the horses and their babies. It's such a neat place to be! I love all the animals and it's fun to see what's new each week.
 I just wanted you to know that I think you're the best! (and Mr. Bobby's great too!!)
 Friends forever,
Molly"

This letter is from Michelle Lockart (Molly's mom)

Molly has ridden under Hannah's guidance for less than two years. When we first started with Hannah, she had never ridden a horse before. Currently, she is cantering with confidence, has hand galloped on trails, has started to jump small jumps and recently completed a 25 mile endurance ride with Hannah!! We are amazed at the progress Molly has made in such a short time.
 
Molly loves to come to Hannah's because she and Bobby are such fun. They make it a comfortable place to be and everyone feels free to speak up, ask questions and start conversations. They gladly share their vast knowledge with those around them. Molly has learned a lot about not only riding, but also about horses and their natural behaviors.
 
I love for Molly to go to WildeWood Farm for "mom" reasons. They are both patient and caring people who love kids. Molly has spent a good deal of time with both Bobby and Hannah, and I never worry for a second when she's with them. I know Molly's safety is always put first--and that means so much to me.  They also have strong family values and it shows in the way they relate to those around them. In a day and age where role models are getting harder to find, Molly has found an excellent one in Hannah!
 
 Thanks, Hannah and Bobby! The time and attention you've given Molly are invaluable to us. We consider it a privilege to have you as Molly's riding instructor and also our friends. We look forward to lots more riding with you!
 
With love,
Michelle and Paul Lockart
