    The CourseHorse Event went really well! Everyone who was able to join & participate, seemed to have a great time, laughed at the delicious monstrosities we made. This particular CourseHorse was perfect virtually and appropriate for the timeframe. Didn’t feel like we had to rush at all. And really appreciated Chef Gina’s double video for multiple angles, her thoughtfulness in teaching, her passion and her consistent clear directions. Comparing to other CourseHorse I’ve done with work, this one is definitely in my top 2 (with the Chocolate Tasting CourseHorse). Thanks again for all your help, coordination & communication.

    Coursehorse crew was amazing! Everything went very smoothly and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better experience. Even my one co-worker that lives in the wilderness, you guys accommodated her by hand-delivering items with a personal shopper in advance of the event when you knew that she wouldn’t have materials on time. That was Unprecedented! Thank you!
