Winner! Teal Orlin Assistant to Stephanie Simmonds, StillWater Equestrian, Walnut Creek, CA
“Teal has been teaching my daughter how to ride for the last 3 years. Chloe is 8 years old now and has been riding since she was five. Teal is amazing; she knows just what Chloe needs on any given day. Some days it’s all business and other days it’s a nice trail ride that Teal walks beside her on.” - Diane Hendry “Teal checked on my horse Logan at 2 am one night because she was concerned about his illness. No matter what we ask of her she is ready and willing to do whatever needs to be done without regard to her personal time.” - Ann Moeller “Teal Orlin is so much more than my assistant at StillWater Equestrian. She’s all the horses’ biggest fan, and she’s like a sister to my son Logan and a daughter to me (although I’m definitely not THAT old). Teal is always at the barn. It’s where she is happiest. It’s where she is at her best. Thankfully for StillWater she is with us!” - Stephanie Simmonds “I have been a trainer in the horse industry for nearly thirty years. I am currently a dressage trainer at Leap of Faith Farms and work side by side with Teal on an almost daily basis. I can say that in all the years I have been doing this, I have never seen anyone more dedicated. I enjoy Teal’s company immensely and she is always a pleasure to be around. Her cheerful disposition and honest commitment to the horses she rides and cares for is a pleasure to see.” - Laura Dwyer

Teal is always working, and never stopping. She always puts 110% effort into
whatever she is doing. We actually have to tell her she needs a day off because she doesn’t stop.
All in all, Teal is a person I look up to.
She has
great morals and a great work ethic. I cannot imagine StillWater without her!
