You were actually one of the first influences that made me want to become a horse trainer myself. I was 12 years old when my mother sent our Appaloosa "Dusty" to you for training. You really helped out my mother, by charging her a low fee and offering exceptional training! With the little training my Appy had when we sent her to you. She came back absolutely AMAZING for only being out there with you for a little over 30 days! She was very grateful, and planned to send all of our horses to you, but she ended up passing in 2001. She was fighting an idiopathic pulmonary disorder as well as being a single mother to 5 kids, and working 60+ hours a week at Children's Hospital as a RT to give us everything we could ever dream of I am very grateful for the break you gave her, and not charging us any extra for those extra weeks when dusty was being so stubborn about coming around. Or for trailering her to and from our place. It made it possible for us to have a wonderfully trained horse! You gave me some hands on advice on how to work with Dusty, and how to gain control of her because she knew she could bully me around and that was one thing that was hard for me to get control of back then. She thought she could walk all over me, or ride where ever she wanted to- because she knew she was bigger than me, and she had reared up at me before and scared the heck outta me. So she knew I was intimidated by her. You gave me the courage to get over my fears, and bully HER into listening to me! I just wanted to thank you for the work you do and to tell you that you are an inspiration to me and my work today! I think you are a great trainer, and I have come across many people who have things to say about your training and Enjoy hearing their success stories as well! Amber Lopez |
