  • “I have been a horse owner and competitor for a very long time. I have my own small farm and I am a very hands-on owner. I have never felt comfortable enough to completely hand over any of my horses to a trainer in the past. Until I met Wendy. For the first time in my equestrian life I am able to let go of everything in regard to the day to day decisions regarding the care and training of my horses. Wendy’s approach to training is truly unique. She has developed a program based on Patience. One that allows each horse to show us what they need to succeed and Wendy listens. She is constantly adjusting where needed and the result is progress without stress or anxiety My approach has always been natural and holistic, so to find a trainer with the same approach is a godsend. Horse trainers as a rule don’t like interference from owners when it comes to decisions, any decisions for that matter. Wendy has a much more collaborative approach which is perfect for someone like me who is heavily involved in the progress of their horses. I am grateful everyday for Wendy being in my horses and my life.”
