ABOUT US
Natasha Collett - Head instructor and Owner
Natasha's journey began at just five years old, when her parents sent her to horse camp Farm is Now in Wall, one summer. This experience sparked a deep fascination (borderline obsession) with the grace of horses, and the trust they put in their handlers to accomplish tasks that would otherwise be impossible. Over the past 18 years, she has trained under renowned instructors, honing her skills in both English and western disciplines. Armed with a wealth of experience, she envisioned a place where individuals could not only learn to ride but also forge a lifelong connection with their horses.
NBC Equestrian stands as a testament to Natasha's commitment to excellence. The facility boasts state-of-the-art barns, a meticulously maintained indoor arena with dressage letters and jumps, and a team of skilled instructors who share Natasha's passion for teaching.
Whether you're a novice looking to step up into the saddle for the first time, or a seasoned rider looking for a show team, NBC Equestrian offers tailored programs to suit all levels.
What sets Natasha apart is not just her technical expertise but her innate ability to connect with both riders and horses. Her teaching style combines patience, encouragement, and a deep understanding of each rider's unique journey. Taking into account the unique biomechanics of each horse and rider pair, students not only master the art of riding but also develop a sense of responsibility, empathy, and respect for these magnificent creatures.
NBC Equestrian has earned acclaim for its supportive and welcoming community. Beyond the arena, it hosts holiday events, clinics, attends shows, and leads trail rides for students, emphasizing the transformative power of the human-equine bond. Natasha's vision has turned this riding program into more than just a school—it's a place where dreams take flight, and the timeless partnership between rider and horse is celebrated with every hoofbeat.
