Brent believes that every horse deserves a chance to be great, you just have to be willing to put in the effort.
Linda Kindle: Linda was born in the central part of Holland, where she grew up with horses on the family owned and operated riding school. She started to ride at the age of six on New Forest Ponies. At the riding school she was formally trained in dressage, jumping and driving. The riding school gave her the privilege of learning under some of Europe’s top ranking instructors and horse trainers.
Keith Danielson: Keith’s clinics are always informative and enjoyable, designed to instill confidence in both horse and rider while always keeping safety in mind. The goal is to better your horse handling skills by gaining a lighter, more responsive mount and obtaining the seemingly effortless ability to put your horse’s feet where you want, when you want. The results of a Keith Danielson style handle? “Plumb good horses.”
