Joy Kim

Yanos sniffs a flower.

Hi, My name is Joy Kim, and I have been riding at Concord for over a year.  I lease Yanos, and since I’ve been riding him, my technique has improved immensely. In the beginning, I could barely sit a trot, let alone keep a canter going for more than 15 seconds without breaking down. Through training with Mark and attending many shows, not only has my riding improved, but my sense of direction, alertness, equitation, as my connection with my horse has become so much greater than I had ever expected. Equestrian riding has gone beyond improving me physically, but it has greatly helped me improve mentally, such as flows, thinking ahead of time, as well as being aware and thinking more quickly when in the arena. I am very thankful to ride at Concord Equestrian Center with Mark, and  I couldn’t have asked for better people to be around me, let alone, a more incredible horse than Yanos.
