We are located in Glen Rose,Texas. Deep sandy soil, blue-green carpets of coastal
and good horses prevail here. Both of us are originally from central Illinois having moved to Texas in the early '80's. Garry
has his Masters degree from Tarleton State University; a member of the Texas A&M system. Megan also graduated from Tarleton
as well earning her Bachelors degree in Animal Science.
We dont like to rush young horses. We dont believe in "wet saddle blankets",
a set program or that horses should be forced into performing in a fashion they dont enjoy. First and foremost, the animals
well-being is considered here.
When a client approaches us, we want to know their goals and objectives and then
evaluate the horses potential over a three month trial. At that point we believe it is essential to re-evaluate the horses
progress and the direction of training. If we feel a horse is not suited to either of our personalities or the owners area
of interest, the horse is re-evaluated immediately to avoid unnecessary cost.
We appreciate client participation. Our preference is an actively showing owner
enjoying the experience while their horse is succeeding in the show ring. The area of largest achievement is with young breeding
stock, usually stallions, through the NCHA Futurity and into the show pen.
We are fortunate to have avoided the chronic lameness syndrome seen with other
trainers. Never has a horse in our care needed injections to their joints, or had any strain related injury. In fact, our
horses look forward to the interaction and interplay found in training. It is strongly believed here that horses are far more
intellegent and "feeling" than humans give them credit for.
Each horse is an individual with its own likes and dislikes. Every horse can
succeed to a given level in the show arena. Our greatest reward is seeing the exuberance in an owner. We invite you to bring
your horse in for an evaluation and success in the show ring.
Come win with us!
