Hi there! Let us tell you a little about

ourselves and our training...

   Having trained for almost 25 years now, I have learned much along the way. My early education in the show horse world came from working for such wonderful horsemen as Roy Register and Larry Bacon (who, I am proud to say, was my biggest influence). Working for these people that had so much knowledge gave me a head start on learning the art of training a show horse. Since I have started training, I have been fortunate to have many great clients and many great horses that have made my career very rewarding so far! I have had the good fortune of many world titles, the biggest of which would be the Open Park Harness World Championship with Fletcher Banjo John and the Open Pleasure Driving World Championship with CCR's Outrajus Courajus. While these may have been the most prestigious classes that I have won, the many in between have been incredibly rewarding as well. I love a good horse of any discipline, but my favorite is a harness horse and I take great pride and joy in my young stock. I also, however, love teaching amateurs to ride and drive. Basically, I like to teach anyone, horse or person, that has a desire to learn about the show horse world!

   To learn what I thought I needed to know to not just become a horse trainer, but to try to become an asset to the show horse industry. I worked for people that I felt best prepared me to do this and I came away with pieces of each and every one of them. I enjoyed working with Kathy Peeples throughout my Jr. Exhibitor years and into my early twenties. Next, Old Orchard taught me a lot and gave me many opportunities and finally, I spent almost 3 years in Kentucky working for George Knight. Each had a specialty that interests me, from Junior Exhibitors and Equitation to the fine points of a great park horse, I got to see the makings of them all. I enjoy working horses that have a heart to work...division is irrelevant if they have the desire to be a show horse. Yet, teaching gives me a great satisfaction and joy that I could not give up! From the first day in tack to the first time thru the in gate, it is all fun!
   Together, we feel that we have a unique ability to help each other and find each horses' niche in life. Between the two of us, we can see who a horse gets along with and progresses the most with and help that horse to learn quickly and happily. Then, together, we can provide the finishing touches that put it in the ring at it's best. It is a wonderful system that we thoroughly enjoy!
