You can see many of my clients with their horses on my you tube channel or on my facebook page. It is hard to keep up with all the social media. So I usually just post it on facebook.
Some of my clients
Tango and his owner have been together for 9 years. He could not fox trot before training and cantered really fast. Time and patience. They are a great pair.
I sold Dancer 3 years ago.
Missy and her owner just take lessons and come with us on trail rides and trips. Her owner lucked out because Missy is a great older Walking Horse with lovely gaits.
I sold Sedona 8 years ago, the owner sends her in for tune ups when she goes away, I am always so happy when clients keep in touch. Sedona is now 20, you would never know it.
Stetson and his owner taking a lesson. She bought him 3 years ago.
Getting a tune up while his owner is away.
Sakari, my 10 year old Kentucky Mountain mare, is my first horse. Her name in American Indian means "sweetness". She can charm endlessly, put her lady moves on you and then become as stubborn as can be. I knew from my purchase from a third party that she was steady and courageous on the trail but neither Sakari or me knew what good ground manners, respect and the basics that a smart and respectful gaited horse should know and do. I retained Gaye to teach us both how to communicate and learn everything from walking to reining, fast walking, backing, side passing, etc.. Gaye is not only majestic, she is magical, marvelous, and professional. I'm a professional business trainer/coach. I admire Gaye's talent to be able to teach, explain, demonstrate, model, and coach and certify every aspect of gaited horsemanship in a way that I could understand, apply, and learn not only the techniques but turn that knowledge into behaviors that worked for/with Sakari and put horse and rider in synch. Her expertise is beyond mastery. If you are open to learn and be coached to learn it from the best, Gaye is your trainer. Sakari's three weeks of full-time training and my one week of Gaye training me in the saddle has given Sakari and me a gift that I believer only Gaye could have accomplished. This Majestic Rider is now our "retained coach" to help us go to the next level. Salute Gaye!
I struggled with a horse that I purchased through an affiliate of
Majestic Rider which lead me in a rather round about way to Gaye's guidance, training knowledge and excellent insight into 'matching' me with my next horse. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have 'stumbled' upon her and her excellence in not only horsemanship, but also dealing with the 'human aspect'. She assisted in finding the right horse for me and I am forever grateful to her and her compassion and honesty that is sometimes so lacking in the field of selling horses. I loath the seller who withholds vital information & takes your money & says what he thinks you just want to hear - Gaye is NOT like that! I so appreciate her honesty, experience, knowledge and affinity to horses and to people and how to communicate accurately and friendly - I can't say enough about this woman and how she runs her business. She's not only beautiful on the outside but truly a beautiful person on the inside! AND the horses know and love this too!

I got my two horses from The Majestic Rider and they are truly the best I’ve ever had. Versatile, smart, gentle, and tons of personality. Thank you Gaye for all you do and your wonderful training.
I have known Gaye DeRusso for the past 7 years. She has been my horse trainer/instructor and a very good friend. I have learned so much from her through the years. She is so very talented in many ways, with an amazing ability to "read" horses and know what they need. She has the ability to see the smallest areas of concern and relay how to correct them in an appropriate manner. This is rarely found in one individual, but Gaye has them both.
The horses she works with become better athletes. She gives them confidence by training them without fear and they always end up giving her their extra mile. They just seem to trust her and know that she will not let them down.
During training, she teaches them through consistency and persistence, thus allowing the horse to feel accomplished in a positive way. She is patient and firm at the same time, with a working knowledge of the horse’s potential and their limitations.
Gaye is open minded and is always willing to learn new things. She will go the extra mile for anyone who believes in her.
I personally have been blessed by her hard work and friendship. After the passing of my first Walking Horse, and a short period of grieving, Gaye crusaded without doubt or worry, and walked me through the step by step process of locating and purchasing another Walking Horse that I quickly fell in love with. He came to me with poor gaits, mostly pacing, unable to canter, etc., and no working arena knowledge. After a few months of training and many, many student lessons teaching me how to help him, we had a great success story. I’ve now owned my horse Toffee, for over 5 years and he is the best trail horse ever!!
As a friend, I know that I can count on her to be there unconditionally and non-judgmentally.
Gaye will be very honest in her teachings in order to help you and your horse grow. She has inspired me to be a better rider and a better horse owner and I have felt fortunate to have her as my trainer/instructor and my friend.
She is a true treasure!!

Gaye DeRusso is, without a doubt, the most talented and gifted gaited horse trainer in the country. I have trained with several other trainers before finding Gaye 15 years ago and I would never even consider letting another trainer touch my horse. She is caring, empathetic, funny, and most of all, incredibly knowledgeable and able to impart that knowledge with grace and good humor. She's not a drill master, doesn't make you feel stupid or inept, she's always encouraging. Don't even think of using another trainer if you have a great gaited horse. You and the horse will be so much better under her watchful eye.
Gaye is a remarkable and talented person her knowledge and skill with horses is fantastic! If you are thinking of getting a gaited horse or taking lessons she is amazing.
Gaye is wonderful! I brought my horse to her for his fear issues - primarily a fear of people.
Gaye was patient, inventive, and consistent - within a month I had a horse sticking his head out of a stall to give 'kisses' to people in the aisleway!
This translated to riding as well, he had always had a very high head (not just because he is a walker, but out of anxiety) - I had never seen him with his head down, except for when he was eating - Gaye taught him to lower his head, and relax, and he was soon looking for this 'reward'. What a relief to have a cue to ask for for when out on the trails when being approached by hikers, joggers, and bikers!
I am now looking forward to hitting the trails, on a horse that is happier and safer!
Thanks Gaye!

I am a professional trainer and clinician in the horse industry, but about two years ago I became involved with gaited horses for the first time, specifically Tennessee Walkers, and sought out Gaye for help and advice. I have been very impressed with her horsemanship, knowledge and skills. She has been a great resource and has since assisted me with locating suitable horses for our ranch. I find her honesty to be very refreshing and would not hesitate to recommend her in any capacity in the horse industry.
I have taken lessons from quite a few trainers over the years and finds Gaye's combination of directness, encouragment and warmth very helpful. She is very generous with her knowledge and has responded to many an email of mine as I try to learn about this new world of gaited equines. I had only met her once when I went to Tennessee shopping for a gaited mule, and she gave me feedback on video clips as I went state to state looking for my new mule. Her website is filled with information and video clips that really help you understand different gaits. I'm grateful to have connected with this wonderful trainer.
Gaye DeRusso is awesome!
I bought a TWH and quickly found out that she needed a tuneup. Sent her to Gaye for 2 months. THE best $$$ I ever spent! My girl got SO much proper, consistent training. Gaye even sent me a video almost each day of her progress!
Gaye is remarkably talented and so patient with these gaited horses and their owners. Gaye taught me too! Its all part of the training package. She is always available by phone or text to help you thru an issue. Lots of videos on her website to watch and learn.
Gaye is THE best gaited trainer! If you have a young horse or an older one that just needs a tune up... CALL her!

I highly recommend and respect Gaye Derusso of The Majestic Rider as a horse-human matchmaker, horseback riding instructor, and horse trainer. After asking me about my horse experience and the horse qualities I was looking for, Gaye invited me to take a lesson on her horse Sundance. She and Sundance made me feel comfortable right away, and during that lesson Gaye gently guided me to experience Sundance's smooth-as-glass gaits. The next week we took a wonderful trail ride. Gaye was fun to ride with and Sundance was calm, comfortable and sure-footed, just what I was looking for! After the trail ride, Gaye gave my husband a brief lesson in the arena so he could also experience Sundance's smooth gaits. Gaye thought we were a good match, and after a Q&A session about caring for Sundance, health concerns, etc., we agreed to go ahead with a prepurchase exam. Gaye was very helpful during the exam; she handled and lunged Sundance, and answered the vet's questions honestly and completely. Finding no surprises, I decided to buy Sundance that day. Gaye followed up by sending me detailed instructions and several videos to make sure Sundance's transition to his new home went smoothly. She's always been very responsive when I contact her with questions, or to let her know how Sundance is doing. I'm so glad I contacted Gaye to help me find a horse. Her facility at Seducente Ranch in Pilot Hill and the nearby trails are beautiful places to ride. Gaye readily shares tons of videos of her training horses and valuable information for equestrians on her website and Facebook page. I continue to learn from her videos and posts on these platforms.
Gaye DeRusso, owner and trainer of The Majestic Rider has been nothing short of a godsend. Years ago I was finally in a position to fulfill one of my lifelong dreams of owning my own horse. But it couldn’t just be any horse, it had to fit the needs of my family – special needs twins. Gaye had exactly what we needed - calm, patient and willing - and not only gave me lessons, but also taught me about horse ownership, the nature of horses and how to speak their (body)language.
When my twins were in second grade, their teacher told them they’d never learn to ride a bike because of their intellectual disabilities. Sadly, that teacher didn’t have the patience, trust or faith in my twins. Last February, twelve years later, my twins bought their own horse from Gaye! She taught my girls how to safely groom, tack up, steer, stop, gait, round pen and ride their new horse. She spent hours teaching them individually. Through her patience and expertise, Gaye empowered my twins to be responsible and safe trail riders. Within the first week of bringing MoJo Beans home, Madison had her first trail ride. It was 10.5 miles long with 2 new horse/riders added to the mix. We rode over bridges, by bikes and barking dogs, crossing roads with cars and motorcycles, changing herd order, up and down extremely technical steep terrain and even moved downed trees. That horse took care of Madison the entire time and did everything she asked.
If you’re in the market for a solid-minded, gaited trail horse, you need to contact Gaye. She is trustworthy, honest and will only sell you a horse that is healthy, treated well and the best fit for your needs. She answers any questions you may have pre and post purchase. Gaye has more knowledge about gaited horses than a lot of local vets because she literally has the “field experience” rather than just what’s written in a book.
I don’t have enough words to express my gratitude for what Gaye has done for me and my family through her horse training, lessons and finding the right horse for my twins. Thank you Gaye for all you do for the horses and us owners. And thanks to the rest of you for reading.
Hi Gaye, I just wanted to say again thank you for the fabulous lesson I had last Friday. I really learned a lot in that one lesson. I have stuck to a plan like you said and I have been jotting down what I do with her in a calendar. It seems a lot easier to take her out on the flat areas instead of the arena. She has more momentum and it is easier to keep her walking fast. There is one small hill that she has to go up at the end too which will help with building muscle. I don't have a stop watch but I have been keeping it as close as possible to 5 min. each direction. Yesterday was day five. She now stands still at the mounting block after I get on. She doesn't stop when she sees the turkeys, she hesitates, but I kick her forward. When riding her faster I have been concentrating on not "pumping" with my hips to keep her going and I am doing much better. Have to work on the trot more, she still tends to want to set her own pace. I have just been posting like you said so she will get a clear distinction between the walk and trot. Haven't worked too much on that due to the air quality. I don't want to get her breathing heavy. The nice fast walks are becoming fun for both of us. Thanks for all your help. C
Hi Gaye
Romeo is doing so well, I am so lucky to have him and think of you often for providing such a wonderful horse. I heard from a friend that a mutual trainer we were taking lessons from said she also loves him and admires the bond he and I have, made me feel so good!
Hope you are well, And have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
MAUREEN
Hope you are doing well Romeo and I are GREAT, I still consider myself so lucky to have him

It's my Anniversary with Romeo! Two years ago on the 10th I picked him up and brought him home. And everyday I ride him I am so thankful. He was off for two months because of his foot and then I was sick. I put him in a round pen two days in a row to work him a little, then to the Beach. Never an issue, he's so solid and dependable!
Thank you so much for making him such a great horse!
Maureen

We absolutely love midnight...it finally quit raining .. I got over my cold and I got some days off work.. Took him out to the foothills yesterday.. He was perfect... Took him to backcountry horsemen trail trails today... He did it all any mistakes we made were mine not his...thank you, Terry
Ari really enjoyed his lesson. He said it was the best lesson he has ever had and we have done clinics with Richard Winters, Josh Lyons, Buck, Branaham, etc. I would like to set up another lesson for a two hour period - one hour for each of us for July 17th or 24th, if possible.
thanks a lot!

Gaye,
Its going great. Red (we call teddy) is an awesome horse. A beginner rode him yesterday and he took amazing care of her. I love riding him too. Slim is doing good. But last night he had a rare night of misbehaving. Nothing serious. He hadn't been out in a week or so. He had lots of energy. Patricia
Slim is doing great. I still can't believe that I have such an awesome horse. Thank you :-).
I have been a trooper and have riden him everyday since he's been here. Once out on my own to the levee and around the field. He did really good. He obeys when told to slow on the way back. Amy took me on a river tour three evenings ago. We crossed the river at several places and crossed terrain I didn't even know a horse could pass. Now I've got budding endurance riding aspirations LOL. Tonight all three horses went out. Slim likes to lead going out and he actually wants to go faster going out. He was super cute before the ride. He was in the round pen and followed me around nickering while I was trying to catch Marquis who was on the outside of the pen.
Right now he has a routine which he seems to like. He spends the night in his stall (he seems to like that). After breakfast he is turned out in the round pen for the day. He and Marquis converse over the fence. Several times they have done that chewing on each other's withers thing over the fence. I was prepared today to get a video but they didn't do it. In the evening we ride. Then he is tied for awhile then back to his stall for dinner and his supplements. I haven't turned him out in the paddock that Charlie was in because I want to have the time to go over it with a new rolling magnet I just got.
I know he wasn't a forward horse there but he has been moving out well here. The levee is full of perils, dogs, bikers, traffic, gun shots across the river, cows in pastures, other horses. It's always different so I think that keeps him alert and moving. He does spook some but it's always in place. I haven't taken him far down the levee by himself but that is my next goal. I think it's going to take some time to get him used to being out there on his own. So far I couldn't be happier. I'm looking forward to many years and adventures with him.
You found me the perfect horse. Thank you :-).
Patricia
Just wanted to let you know, we love Hank!

Hi Gaye, I just want you to know Hope was wonderful camping at Pt. Reyes last week. I couldn't ask for a better horse. We went with her boyfriend so that helped, here are a few pictures of us and there are a few more on facebook. Thank you for bringing her into my life. Her boyfriend is the pinto next to her in the pens, she love Neil's horse too. He stopped by her stall and they rubbed and groomed each other. I have another friend had a throughbred that does the same thing. Hope has a lot of admires. She has a wonderful life and is very happy. Wish you could come camping with us, it's so much fun. I'll give her a big kiss and hug for you. Lee
Champ made it to his new home in Wisconsin this morning in great shape! His new owner is VERY happy with him. I cannot thank Gaye enough for her help in this whole process! I initially went to see her to evaluate my Rocky Mountain horse and to give me an idea of what I should ask for him. She was very thorough, rode him in the arena and out alone on a trail ride. She provided me a video camera to use and said she would edit and post that video and advertise him on her web site -if I would like. That same night she had it up on her web site and a few others places! I really wanted to find a good match for my horse. Gaye helped me with that too! I had interested people talk to her about Champ for an objective assessment of him and also assess the folks calling. We found a good match and then Gaye was very helpful with the details of the sale, including providing a sale contract and help locating horse transport.
I am very happy I found Gaye. She is amazing, generous, and knows her stuff! I would highly recommend her any one who is buying or selling a gaited horse!

I started taking lessons with Gaye a year and half ago and what a thrill it has been! I'm new to the sport and have never done anything nearly as fun or rewarding. Being outside in the fresh air, using muscles you didn’t know existed, and understanding that each horse has its own unique personality has been educational. What a fun experience and challenge to learn to ride a horse properly. Gaye is a knowledgeable teacher, very kind in her approach to instructing her students as well as in training horses. She has a great depth of experience and expertise in "horse psychology" with safety always at the forefront of her thinking.
A year ago, I purchased a wonderful horse through Gaye, Snickers, and what a love he was. We were perfectly matched and had a great time together….how patient Snickers was with me while I was learning! Unfortunately, Snickers passed on, but Gaye didn't let that stop me from learning how to move forward and find another "new love". Now, and thanks to Gaye, I have another perfectly matched love of my life, Toffee! Toffee and Gaye together are teaching me so much….things I didn't know I still needed to learn!
What I most appreciate about taking lessons with Gaye, is her ability to pinpoint exactly what needs to be corrected with me to bring about the desired result with my horse. Gaye breaks it down like no other trainer I have ever witnessed. It is simple, yet always effective. She communicates well, and also has a keen sense of what's best for the horse and the rider. Her approach differs on the needs of the horse and rider, but always goes back to the basic building blocks of good and safe riding.
Gaye is a gifted instructor. She has a way of guiding the student to make the needed changes without a lot of stress. She makes learning fun. Gaye has an arsenal of creative exercises to help the rider achieve their goals with their horse. She has a keen eye for what is needed to improve your riding and reduce your fears. And she is good at communicating this to the rider.
It appears to me that some riding instructors focus on how to make the horse perform at its best and some may only focus on how to make the rider more proficient and technically strong. Gaye well provides a combination of both that I find to be educational and fun. I feel like my horse is becoming more balanced with improved gaits through skill building exercises and a comfortable environment. With an emphasis on routine and building on the basics, I have become a more proficient rider who does not just look good, but understands how my actions as a rider are directly connected to my horse’s performance. Gaye's lessons have been tailored to the needs of both Toffee and I, leaving me feeling like I have learned something new with every lesson and my horse has too! Because Gaye knows her horses so well, and endeavors to know her clients both as riders and as people, she is able to see more positive results in both her horses and riders. She tailors the instruction to fit the horse, the rider, and the moment. More than anything, I ride with no feeling of judgment or disappointment. She has a way of showing you what you’re capable of and supporting you in order to help you achieve your best.
Gaye is a good person with integrity, honesty and compassion. If you have envisioned yourself learning to ride, becoming comfortable around horses, experiencing what is involved in the keeping and care of a horse, or dreamed of owning your own horse one day, lessons with Gaye is a great place to start!
Thank you Gaye!!

Shelly

My Tennessee Walking horse and I have been in training with Gaye Derusso for over seven months. I brought to Gaye a horse with "issues" that were, I was told by others, getting worse. His prior trainer no longer wanted to work with him. I sought out Gaye after hearing that she had helped others with their horses.
Gaye's expertise with gaited horses along with her positive attitude, tireless constitution, consistent, humane and creative training techniques have resulted in my horse and I developing a relationship with each other that I didn't think possible. I have learned from Gaye how to handle his "attitude." We have both thrived through her training. I now have a horse that is enjoyable for trial riding and who's gaits have improved tremendously - he now canters!
In addition to my own horse I have watched as she has trained other horses, seeking to improve upon each horse's natural talent. Gaye is truly dedicated to fully developing each horses physical potential but never at the expense of the horse's emotional well being.
Gaye takes special care and a customized approach with each horse she accepts into her training program. She allows the time to really get to know each horse's particular personality in order to establish the training methodology best suited for that horse. Upon commencing training with Gaye she confers with her clients to set training goals for their horses. And she meets those goals!
Gaye is readily available to respond to client's questions and concerns and remains open to suggestions and requests.
If you are looking for an experienced and caring trainer that delivers results I recommend Gaye Derusso. Her expertise and motivation are driven by a true love and appreciation of horses. Dana
