Betsy Greisiger

Betsy Greisiger has been a riding instructor at Stonehaven Farms since 1998. She began by helping with summer camps and soon after started teaching in the lesson program. Betsy learned to ride at the age of 6 and rode and competed until she was 21. She is a wife and mother of three children. She started her daughter, Katie, in lessons at River Hollow where she ran the Hull Prairie Pony Club until she and Katie came to Stonehaven in 1996.

Cathy Rohrs
Instructor, Beginner-Intermediate Riders
Cathy Rohrs has been affiliated with Stonehaven Farms since it's inception in 1993 when she started her daughter, Kelly, in lessons. However she did not learn to ride a horse until a year later when she could not just stand on the ground and watch any longer. That was also the year that she teamed up with Donna to begin the Summer Camp Program. Soon after, she began instructing the beginner riders in private lessons and later went on to teach regularly in the lesson program. Cathy's 30 years as a teacher in the public schools make her more than qualified to combine her teaching skills with an interest that she dearly loves. She considers the years that she has worked with horses and riders a privilege and she jumps at the chance to share her enthusiasm for this life-long sport with riders of all ages.
Jessica Miletti
Instructor, Beginner Riders
Jessica grew up around horses but never officially took lessons until after her daughter, Marissa, began learning how to ride in 2003. Four years later after learning to ride and enjoying their riding time together, they purchased their beautiful mare, Willow, and moved to Stonehaven Farms. Jessica expressed an interest in becoming more involved in the Stonehaven lesson program, thus, began her very important job of giving our beginner riders their first set of lessons. As a Mom, she brings a gentle and loving touch to the private beginner lessons as she instructs our newest riders. As a horse owner and rider, her enthusiasm for continuing to learn and grow in the saddle and on the ground is catching and appreciated by her entire Stonehaven family.
