"My daughter who is petite and currently in Kindergarten has been a student with Kerry for almost a year now. At just turning 6 years old, she was competing at a show in Stockton, Ca. where she won 7 blue ribbons in the Walk Trot division 10 years and under and 8 years and under! Now, after a series of shows, she has won the Winter Season 10 and under Division Championship and was awarded a Championship embroidered cooler! An amazing accomplishment, but only with such a talented instructor like Kerry. Olivia LOVES RIDING! Learning the care of her horse and being responsible at the barn has given her confidence and maturity. She looks forward to riding many of Kerry's special Welsh Hunter ponies for years to come."

"I have been riding at SAR Ranch, with Kerry Urquhart, for 16 years. Over that time I have gone from winning numerous rated medium ponies classes to winning show champion at A rated A/O jumper divisions. Through hard work and Kerry's knowledge and help we are currently working on moving into the grand prix circuit. I have been with SAR Ranch through my whole show jumping career and could not possibly imagine being anywhere else."

"We have known Kerry for about 20 years. She is the best English riding instructor we have ever known. She has worked with three of my five kids and even today, my 21 year old can sit a bull because of the equitation training he received from Kerry. My 12 year old daughter has perfect equitation because of Kerry's sharp eye and demand for perfection. Julia had problems with fear because of poor training from another trainer, but Kerry worked with her and got her out of that. Kerry is patient and long suffering when it comes to problems that need to be corrected. She gets the job done and takes her kids to the top. Julia has many championships and reserves thanks to Kerry."

"I started training under Kerry as a teen more than 20 yrs ago. I learned a tremendous amount from her about myself as a rider and about horses. She not only taught me how to ride competively, she taught me how to read and understand the behavior of horses. Now my 3 & 6 yr old children are training with Kerry. Horses are her passion and it shows in her dedication. I would recommend her to people of all ages or experience level. Kerry is not only a great horsewoman & trainer, she is a great person.
