"Derek and I have seen our daughter thrive at Bear Creek Equestrian Center.  She has grown increasingly confident and secure as a rider.  She feels good about her performance there, which translates to an enhanced self-esteem.  We are impressed with the quality of the facility and training of the horses.  The customer service is excellent.  We look forward to many more seasons with the Bear Creek staff and, of course, the magnificent horses."

"Boarding my rescue horse at Bear Creek has given me great peace of mind that he is receiving the love and hands-on care he deserves and that I cannot give him while I'm not living in the valley.  The staff at Bear Creek nurtures my horses, and because of them, he is learning to trust humans again.

In particular Sandie's kindness, attention and affection for my horse have been integral in his rehabilitation.  She's a big contributor to the progress he has made

I chose Bear Creek because of Krista.  Her broad experience, astounding instincts and gentle hand with previously traumatized and neglected horses - and jittery riders - made her the trainer of choice for me and my horse.

Because of Krista and the staff at Bear Creek, my horse with a past now has a bright future."

“My favorite thing about Bear Creek is the incredibly thorough and conscientious care…way beyond the norm.”

"We're on Vashon Island this week and the kids are in a 3 hour 'horse camp' for 2 days.  Mostly trail riding the entire time.  Picked them up today and the owner commented she didn't realize my kids had so much riding experience.

She said to pass on to the stables they've been going to that they're clearly great teachers.  She said she wishes they were closer than Winthrop so she could recommend them to others."
