About Dawn
At Ravenwood we are both a kid friendly barn and a professional riding academy able to offer training for athletes for all levels of riding ages 2 and up. The head trainer Dawn Mahalik is a professional dressage/jumping rider and coach. Dawn @ 35yrs has competed successfully is hunter, jumpers, Eventing, and dressage. She still currently trains with many top trainers in the country striving to reach her own personal riding goals. Ravenwood is also a 501c non profit. All of our income is filtered back into our riding program for underprivileged and traumatized children who can benifit from working and riding on the farm. I have been trainer of the year multiple times for Gloucester county, Students of mine have won over 80 grand and reserve state titles through 4h. Many of my students excel in both dressage and jumping a true accomplishment for any rider.
I love working with the horses they have always been a part of my life. Now I get to teach what I have learned growing up in this industry to everyone else. Seeing the unconditional love ❤️ horses and their riders share.
My first student was when I was in 7th or 8th grade I taught my science teachers daughter who suffered from cerebral palsy . Her horse lessons helped strengthen and loosen her body so well she was always to avoid two surgeries. I had had another teachers student who loved riding and was lessoning from me.
A Degree in animal science from Delaware Val University. I have since added hours and hours of research into continuing my own riding education with clinics and my own lessons I still take, as I am coached to reach my own goals as well. I also was raised on a large horse equestrian farm so I have been riding since I was 2 and a 1/2 !!

We train from the ground up handling, horsmanship, and grooming. Every rider learns everything they need to know to be a self suffient rider. They learn a very European based riding style backround of classical dressage that at the Olympic level todsy is applied to not onmy dressage but jumping, eventing training as well. We are leaning how to properly train the horse so they can be their strongest self and injury free.

Dawn is a wonderful teacher. She's patient and very knowledgeable. I love riding on her farm!
Dawn is an excellent teacher and trainer. Her love of horses and riding far exceeds the norm. Dawn has the patience and kindness required to nurture the love of horses in all her students.
Dawn is absolutely amazing!! Not only is she a talented rider and trainer, she’s an all around wonderful person!! Can’t speak highly enough about Ms. Dawn!!!
Dawn is experienced, patient, extremely knowledgeable of all things riding and horses and loves her horses more than anything. Her farm is beautiful and my daughter, Khloe, loves and looks forward to her weekly lessons with Dawn. Khloe tried her camp for the first time last summer and said it was the best camp she has ever been to. I would highly recommend Ravenwood Riding Academy/ Ravenwood Farms and have to many of my friends.
Dawn is super knowledgeable and is great with kids of all ages. You can tell that she truly loves what she does. She has been teaching my daughter since she was in kindergarten (she is 14 now) and we only have great things to say about her and her farm!
Down to earth, relatable, trainer who works with my daughter. Love that she pushes my daughter to be her best and to always try her hardest even if it’s just not your day at the show. Love that she teaches the maintenance of having a horse as well as the no drama environment.
Dawn has been a great trainer for my daughter. She has patience but pushes her at the same time. The farm is a great place for my teenage daughter. She has made many friends and just loves spending time there as much as she possibly can. I love it too! Great place to mentally unwind after a long day of work. I agree with Dawn when she says horses can heal. ❤️
Dawn is very good with children
Great trainer beautiful facility
Great people that are here. It’s like a giant family you feel instantly like family.
The instructor is so nice and knowledgeable.
Ravenwood has always been the place for everyone no matter age, level or style of riding. Dawn knows each and every horse to the core and has an amazing eye for teaching and training. She is kind, understanding and meets your on your level to make you feel as comfortable and confident as you can be. All of the kids love her and it shows in how much they want to help out. I’ve been training with Dawn for almost 5 years and have been the happiest with my riding than I’ve ever been!
Thee MOST accommodating boarding and lesson barn I have ever been at. Dawn is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met in this industry. She TRULY loves her barn and boarders and makes them her #1 priority.
Dawn is a fabulous caring instructor
Dawn is amazing with kids of all ages! She has been working with my kids since they were 3! She has great patience and differentiates her practice with their knowledge of the content! Wouldn’t ever go anywhere else!
Everyone makes you feel so welcome, unlimited amount of horses, great prices, and so much love!
I started riding again when I was an adult and Dawn was the PERFECT trainer for that. She allowed me to learn at my own speed but push me to reach my goals! It is very clear that this is what she was meant to do, and creates such a positive riding environment for all of her students !
Dawn is an exceptional teacher ! She is great with the kids and teaches them correctly with patience ! I’m so lucky to have found such a great program for my step daughter !
