The Colvin Family

We first came to Lynchland when our family moved to Colorado. We have three children - Katie, Matt and Madeline.   My girls were interested in taking riding lessons, and that's how we first met Becca, the Beginner Level instructor at Lynchland.  I noticed right away Becca was a perfect match for my girls. She is patient and understanding.  It wasn't long after that my son became interested in learning how to ride. Becca made him feel comfortable. She is always encouraging my children to try harder and she is a great role model. She works very well with their different personalities and temperaments.   

I was so impressed with Becca that I started to take lessons with her myself. She is a wonderful instructor and has a vast knowledge of horses. I have noticed Becca cares about horses very much and is dedicated to teaching. I highly recommend Lynchland Stables and Becca as an instructor.  Lynchland is like a family that I hope to be a part of for a long time.  

**In the Spring of 2009, the Colvins bought their first horse - Winston!

Melinda and Bob:

In August 2006, Jackie was called to look at a Thoroughbred gelding at a feedlot in Loveland - the horse was scheduled to be sent to the slaughter yard the following day. This horse had been in a small pen with at least 20 other horses, including 2 aggressive stallions. The horse was clearly just off the track, and still wearing his aluminum slicks. He was christened "Baabeldaub" - an island in Micronesia - and nicknamed "Bob". Within a few days, we were able to track down Bob's pedigree - finding his true name was "I Am, I Said", and a grandson of the famous Seattle Slew! After several months of feeding and training, Bob was purchased by Lynchland student Melinda M. - who has continued his training, and provided the TLC required to make this horse the beauty he is today!  Amazing what time and food can do.

Amazing what a little food can do.

Katey G and Gallahad

I rescued Gallahad from the New Holland “Kill” Auction in 2000. He was untrained and fearful of many things, but I worked very hard to gain his trust and friendship, and train him to become the horse he is today.  After a long trailer ride from Pennsylvania, Gallahad and I are happy to be at Lynchland Stables where we have plenty of friends and tons of jumps to jump! We can most often be seen flying high on the cross country course. Gallahad loves peppermints, fruit loops, and giving kisses, and is currently being used in Lynchland's lesson program.
