MEET JOYCE KRAMER

“Joyce has such a gift of putting body awareness, strength, intent, and ability together and pulling the best out of her riders.”

Heidi Hauri-Gill, USDF Certified Instructor/Trainer

“Joyce’s approach is unique, creative, and effective. It is anything but boring and it is neither canned nor generic. I love that she ties each exercise to a benefit directly tied to riding. Not many people or exercises out there truly do this.”

—Stephanie Scribner, The Green Horseman
