Meet our Instructors

---

Hey there, I'm Mackie, and I'm excited to share my lifelong love of horses with you! Riding has been a part of my world since I was a little girl, and now I'm living my dream as an instructor, specializing in western riding.

I'm passionate about training and guiding riders of all ages and levels. Whether you're taking your first steps in the saddle or improving your skills, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Horses have always held a special place in my heart, and I pour that love into each lesson. 

My approach is all about creating a fun and supportive environment where you can learn and grow at your own pace. Whether it's mastering the basics or perfecting your technique, I'll be right there beside you, cheering you on.

 Building confidence is key to becoming a successful rider, and I believe that with patience and perseverance, anyone can overcome their fears and achieve their goals. I've worked with many nervous riders, and I've seen firsthand the transformation that occurs when they start to believe in themselves. From gentle encouragement to gentle nudges out of their comfort zones, I'm dedicated to helping you unlock your full potential and become the confident rider you were meant to be! 

My name is Joni Bertelle. I am a mom of 2 wonderful kids and a step son. I own 2 horses. I grew up loving horses all my life, and I have trained my own horse Major and my yearling Pegasus. I am new to bring a riding instructor here at 4:15 Horsemanship.

Hi! I'm Ellory, and I've been riding horses for several years. I love helping younger riders build confidence, learn new skills, and most importantly, have fun with their horse! I focus on creating a safe, positive, and encouraging environment where riders can learn at their own pace. I'm excited to share my love of horses and help riders grow both in and out of the saddle!
