Erin is an amazing instructor! She is always encouraging with an easy-going attitude that helps her students flourish in any discipline. As a previous student of hers, I always feel comfortable asking her questions even when I’m working with horses in California. She helped me excel in many things and I love having her to help me and I loved her as a trainer and highly recommend her!

I am so very pleased with the building relationship of Touchstone Farm and ECM Equestrian...Erin's professionalism is astounding and being in this business long enough to know the weight of most good intentions amounts to not, this was a very comforting surprise. (Although I never had my doubts in Erin )

Thank you Erin for finding my sweet Sam an owner to take him to that next level in his tier.

Erin has been incredible in teaching my very sensitive horse things in a language he can understand. She has the ability to communicate clearly and kindly with the horse and is able to keep his mind on the little steps forward to reach our goals. Erin has always been respectful and is a great listener and cares about what I have in mind for my horse and my goals for him. She is a beautiful classical rider with a very patient temperment in addition to having the physical condition necessary to be successful in this sport. I appreciate that she is always eager to learn and studies and attends clinics so that she can use everything out there to help me to have the horse I envisioned when I bought this beast I love. Lucky to have her for a trainer.

I would like to share a little about my equestrian journey. For our 26th anniversary, I asked my wife if she wanted to go on a trip or take horseback riding lessons? She had always wanted to learn to ride. So with that decision we met Erin McNew.

​

Our experience consisted of a couple of trail rides years ago. Erin is very patient and an experienced instructor. She is able to explain things to the students level of understanding. With that said, Erin's teaching style allows the student  to progress at a rate they are comfortable with.

​

Recently we have purschased our first two horses, Pippa and Hunter. Obviously we wouldn't own horses without Erin walking us through the process. Additionally, we also board our horses with Erin. It's a little of a drive for us, but it is more important that we trust our horses are properly cared for.

​

Wherever you are in your equestrian journey, Erin would be a great choice. My wife and I learn something new with every lesson and feel that our horses are cared for and loved
