Does anyone know Gaye Avellino, instructor and trainer

[dressagequeen777]

Hello,
I live in the Gap Pennsylvania area, and saw a flyer for an instructor trainer named Gaye Avellino. Has anyone ever had experience with her instruction or training, or know anything else about her? The flyer and website doesn't really say much about her past history with horses.

Thanks for that warning. After asking around, many people are giving me that same advice.

I am unfortunately the assistant "Celeste Burda" that was previously associated with Gaye Avellino. Take it from me personally. [edit] For some godforsaken reason her ponies turned out ok under her training but when it comes to full size horses she's a useless mess. Not only that but if you are considering sending your children to her for lessons I can tell you to PLEASE look elsewhere. She is a very insensitive, uncaring instructor and I am ashamed that I allowed myself to be associated with her. She has NO concept of how to interact with students, whether it be children or adults. Her instability is shown in that she has bounced all over the country never having a set reputation in any one place. Again, I am sorry to have my name associated with this woman and I can assure you that there are many other instructors in the area (I can provide names and EXCELLENT references) that would be much more suited to provide instruction or training!
