Specialities
I LOVE working with young horses!!! We’ve got some wild ones on our lot but I love working with them equally as much as the calmer ones. I love watching them go from absolutely wild and frantic to super calm and loving by the time they leave our ranch to a Medieval Times Castle. I take great pride in getting to know all the horses and learning their quirks.
