About Pleasant Heights

Our general manager and head instructor, Laurie Reese, has more than two decades of experience in equestrian sports. She is a graduate of Johnson and Whales with a bachelor's degree in equine business management and is a successful competitor herself.  Laurie is also a certified equine sports massage therapist with Equissage (tm).
