About
My name is Nathalie van der Woord-Smith. I am the instructor and owner of the Equestrian Learning Center LLC.
I have successfully completed a 4-year education in animal sciences in my country of origin (The Netherlands). This included a 2-year specialization in management & education, as well as several internships, which among others, were at a riding stables; a petting zoo and a wildlife park. At the wildlife park I had the privilege to work with Przewalski horses (the last surviving subspecies of wild horses).

Features of Our Courses
Why Choose Us?
Our dedication to education is woven into every aspect of our operation. It is our goal to provide equestrians and (future) horse owners with the knowledge and skills they need to ensure the physical and mental wellbeing of their equine partner(s).
The total learning experience
Our lessons include so much more than just riding. Grooming, saddling, aftercare and safety are all standard elements in our program.
Committed to animal welfare
Our horses are happy and healthy equines. We strive to meet all of their physical and mental needs.
Consistent scheduling
We schedule students for the same day & time each week and will only deviate from that schedule, if a reschedule is requested by the student or if the weather acts up.
