What people are saying.

I have seen Vijoa teaching and interacting with many different people; other boarders, people young and old taking lessons from her, guests visiting the barn. She is always professional and congenial. She knows horses.

I started riding at Anthony Chabot Stables about fourteen years ago and my daughter had one of her first lessons from Vijoa. I’ve observed Vijoa's interactions with others as well as my own. She is welcoming and it is very obvious she loves horses and the people she works with. She is very positive when working with her students, which is extremely important to me. She is knowledgeable, helpful and smart, and interacts well with others.

We have known Vijoa, and her family for the past 20 years. Vijoa has consistently demonstrated her positive attitude and strong work ethic.

Not once has Vijoa batted a single eyelash at my adult ammy goals. When we first met, I wanted to jump, so we jumped. A year later, I decided to buy my own horse, so Vijoa helped me find an eventer beyond my wildest dreams, Blaze of Light (Salter). A year after that, we started showing for the first time together. Dream after dream has come true through hard work and Vijoa’s endless support and belief in us both. Whatever Salter and I do next, I know that Kheystone will be with us every step of the way.”
