Mica is an extremely talented rider whose love of training, analytical mind, and desire to do the best for her horses makes her unique and a joy to teach. She has been complimented by some of the top trainers in the world. If I had a horse, I would love for Mica to train and show it

I have known Mica for 8 years. Although I haven’t seen her ride the past few, I taught her many times previously. She was a rider with good natural feel who always made the horse better. Her training was fair with a good balance between correction and praise. Personally, I know her as a hard worker and an honest person with a genuine commitment to doing what is right.

Gifted, sensitive, intelligent, Mica Mabragana is a trainer who has a real connection with her horses. Tailoring her work to the individual, always patient, she never pushes the animals. Therefore, the results she achieves are solid, while the horses’ mental and physical well-being remain of the foremost importance.
She provides similarly superlative stable management. And there is a very pleasant, tension-free atmosphere in the stable. The horses are happy.
Mica treats the owners with the same respect she accords the horses. I have known Mica for eight years, and I have the highest regard for her, professionally and personally: She is a person of substance.

Mica has trained and competed my horses since she was 17 years old. Besides her talent and determination she has had rare sensitivity to both their advancement and well being. Her rapport with them (and owner) have been remarkable and I have had full confidence throughout that they were getting the best in care.

Mica is a wonderful rider and trainer who has coached me through a successful first year of FEI level competition, including placing at Region 8 Championships and receiving two adult amateur year-end awards. Her program focuses not only on training, but hacking and conditioning work as well to keep the horses fit and happy. I value her willingness to try many different methods and approaches when solving training issues, and my gelding is going better than ever.
Tina Jones (client/student)
Mica is a talented dressage rider and trainer. She has a great feeling for each horse’s own temperament and character and her training methods reflect this. Through a combination of work in the ring and out in the field, my eight year old has become fitter and better able master his movements with more confidence and ability.
Fern Feldman (former client/student)
Mica is a perceptive and talented teacher and rider. It’s as much fun taking a lesson from her as it is watching her teach someone else. I’m always impressed by her ability to make THE suggestion that will make a difference. This talent plus her wonderful personality always make it a pleasure working—and being—with her.
