"I haven't ridden with Debbie in college as I am only a high school student but, Debbie is the most amazing coach in the world. I have been with her for almost six years now, and I have cherished every moment of our time together. I have even changed barns to continue to ride with her. Debbie is just an amazing woman and like a mother to me, she is always there for you and very understanding, she answers any question you have whether it's about riding or just life. I love Debbie and hope to continue to ride with her for many years. She is just wonderful and a very, VERY caring woman. "

"I have been riding with Debbie for five years and have loved every second of it! She is the most down-to-earth and motherly coach I have ever ridden with. When people are looking for a great coach my first and only recommendation is Debbie. Debbie has been a mother figure to me and I love her so much. She knows like every judge that the island has for competitions which is VERY helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better coach and I will ride with her for as long as she is working with horses. I originally rode at Country Farms Equestrian Center in Medford for about four years with Debbie and then moved barns with her to Sagamore Hill Stables in Northport. Living in Bayport is a little bit of a ride up to Northport but to me, Debbie is 100% worth the drive. I love Debbie and if you do ride with her, treat her well because she has been a coach for 25 years and we want to treat Debbie like the mom and mentor that she is. "
