“Alyssa Weintraub is one of the most naturally talented and hardworking riders I’ve had the pleasure of working with. If you’re looking for someone with grit, heart, and serious horsepower (both literally and figuratively), Alyssa is your rider.
She’s been riding with us for several years now, and her growth in the show jumping ring has been nothing short of impressive. Alyssa has a calm, confident presence in the saddle, and she connects with her horses in a way that really sets her apart. She’s competed successfully across multiple circuits, consistently placing and often coming home with the blue. But beyond her results, it’s her sportsmanship, team spirit, and love for the horses that truly shine.
Whether she’s schooling a green horse, helping a younger rider at the barn, or walking a tricky course, Alyssa always brings a great attitude and work ethic. She’s the kind of rider every team would be lucky to have — responsible, supportive, and always willing to put in the extra work. I know Alyssa would be an incredible addition to your team! ”

“Alyssa has been riding with me for 2 years. I can honestly say she is a pleasure to work with. When she first came to me we had to break down what she did and did not learn in her previous riding situation. Having to do this is quite hard for any student but Alyssa always came the next time with a huge smile and the greatest willingness to improve and understand what we were looking to accomplish.
Alyssa is always one of the first young ladies to step up when anything needs to be done around the barn. She takes great pride in each task she does and that, I have found, is quite rare these days.
Alyssa also gets along with all of the other girls as well. They definitely seem to look up to her and appreciate her work ethic as well. I have not heard her speak negatively of anyone. In fact, she is someone that always tries to encourage the other riders.
I can’t wait to see what Alyssa’s future holds for her. I’m sure she will be an amazing adult, as I adore her as a teen!”

Alyssa possesses a genuine enthusiasm for learning. She approaches new concepts with an open mind and a willingness to explore, which makes her a valuable contributor to our class. She interacts respectfully and thoughtfully with her peers and with me, fostering a comfortable and supportive learning environment. Alyssa exemplifies the kind of attitude that yields success. She is not only a good student, but also a good person, and I have no doubt that her positive approach and diligence will lead her to success in her chosen pursuits.”
