Opening Number Riding Academy 

Caitlin Adams is a 2nd generation horsewoman with years of show experience in hunter/ jumpers, English equitation, dressage, eventing, gymkhana games, and drivin and has dabbled in much more. She started riding in 1998, and training students of all ages since 2006. Many of her students that compete are successful, and all of her riders receive compliments on their good equitation/ horsemanship. During the day, Caitlin is a Math Teacher at an Alternative School for 6-12 grade. Caitlin has a degree in Psychology and Masters in Special Education. Like any teacher, Caitlin has put together a curriculum for students and holds all of her riders to high expectations. Students do not have to show, but they do have to give their best!

Hi! My name is Alison Little. I have loved horses since I was little and I have had my own horse since I was 11. I currently take lessons with Caitln, and I’m excited to now be an instructor for Peanut and Cashew lessons! I earned my Associates In both Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Cecil College, and I’m currently working towards my Bachelors in Elementary and Special Education from Towson University. I have had extensive experience teaching as a Substitute Teacher, Paraeducator and Camp Counselor. As a teacher, I strive to make my lessons as fun and engaging as possible by incorporating games and activities to help children practice both horsemanship and riding skills while having fun! My lesson curriculum works on establishing knowledge of the whole horse including care and ground manners, while helping children build their confidence as riders.
