While Glenda specializes in her C.O.R.E. Rider method, which is applicable to all disciplines, she focuses her own competitive riding in the disciplines of dressage, eventing and show-jumping.
"I rode at Playland when I was in high school, but after my college lease horse passed away, Glenda was the first person I called. The environment here is so welcoming, and she has the expertise to offer every student in her program a challenging and thoughtful lesson."
- Sam
"I’ve boarded my horses at Playland since 2018, but when I was pregnant with my first child, I decided to put my mare in training. Glenda was a lifesaver with keeping Sissy in shape and progressing in her training, ready for me as soon as I was up to riding again. I saw so much benefit, I still have her in part-time training to this day!"

Lessons can be scheduled almost anytime throughout the week and are available in private, semi-private or group format for boarders and non-boarders. Lessons can be taken on one of Playland’s school horses or your own horse.
Lessons canceled with at least 24-hour notice can be scheduled into a make-up lesson, as 24 hours gives ample time to fill the lesson spot left open. If students do not give at least 24-hour notice or are a “no show,” they will not get a make-up and payment is still due.
