“I have known Mia Thomasson and her family for close to 3 years. While teaching Mia at Blackjack Farms in Birmingham, Alabama I found her to be gifted regarding her capacity to learn and acquire the skills for higher leveled equestrian competition. Mia loves her horses, has a strong work ethic, and is an individual that her peers respect, admire and enjoy being around. Within the daily routine at our training facility I’ve noticed Mia is possessed of genuine compassion for her equine partners. She shows fastidious care in her riding / grooming schedules and compassionate in taking care of her horses during lameness issues and special rehabilitation. Additionally, her scholastic studies and USEF riding resume are outstanding. Mia would be a great addition to any college riding team”

“Mia is one of the hardest working students I have ever had the pleasure to teach. She cares about her school work, and she works hard to ensure that she does it correctly. She is rarely absent, but when she has to miss, she is diligent to complete her make-up work without being asked. While having Mia in my class, she consistently demonstrates academic aptitude and ambition above and beyond that of her peers. Mia often makes critical points in class discussions that demonstrates her exceptional ability to analyze scientific concepts. Mia is an outstanding student.”
