” I am pleased and honored to write a recommendation for Lily Grosz. Lily has been a student at Elvenstar for the past 10 years, training at our satellite location in Huntington Beach, CA and joins me at the competitions. She began riding in the academy and has since blossomed as a young woman and equestrian showing at nationally ranked horse shows.
Lily is a wonderful young woman and a joy to have as a student. She is dedicated as an equestrian athlete and very capable of riding many different types of horses. She is a thoughtful rider working hard to conquer each level of riding so that she has a strong foundation. It has been a pleasure to watch her grow from a young girl competing at the x-rail and 2’ level to now riding in such an accomplished manner around the 3’6” courses.
Lily is above all a kind young woman who displays horsemanship and sportsmanship at the highest level. She has been a pleasure to have as part of our Elvenstar family and I believe she will be a great asset to an NCAA Division I team. ”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Lily for the past ten years and can confidently say that she would be an excellent candidate for an NCAA Division I Equestrian Team. She consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic, attention to detail and a willingness to go above and beyond what is expected. She is a quick learner, very coachable and always willing to lend a hand. I have been particularly impressed with Lily’s adaptability to new and different horses, which have been instrumental in her success in the equitation and jumpers. In addition, she has excellent horsemanship skills as she takes care of her own horses on a regular basis. Lily will be an asset to any team and I am confident she will excel in any future endeavors.”

“I have had the pleasure of being Lily’s English and history teacher for the last two years, and I am the director of the learning center where she is taking classes with other instructors. In class, Lily is a student who is willing to work hard towards educational excellence, and she has maintained continual high scores in every area of study. She is consistently on time, is an active participant in class discussions, and displays positive leadership skills. Socially, Lily is admired and respected by her peers, and she has the reputation of treating others with genuine kindness. It is with great confidence in her academic performance, extra-curricular involvement, and social maturity that I can recommend Lily as a prospective candidate for your consideration.”
