Cathie I can not express more appreciation of your talents with helping me train my newly acquired 5yr. old quarter horse/draft cross Violet. I have not owned a horse for many years and I became her owner somewhat unexpectedly. I ride with Dr. Cooks bitless bridle. My concerns were to have a well mannered animal. After meeting with you at our first lesson, I became convinced you were the person by which I could achieve my goals. In addition to this I was delightfully introduced to Cowboy Mounted Shooting and discovered that Violet and I could explore this hobby. This is so exciting for me. I am a Civil War reenactor (field musician),so Cowboy Mounted Shooting allows me to continue with my 19th century passion for history as well. Cathie, your are remarkable to watch interact with a horse. Your sense of reading the animal is truly a sight to experience. After observing the first few minutes of how you interacted with Violet, I trusted you immediately. You have a spirit as well as a keen sense of horsemanship.  You work around a horse, rewarding appropriately, gaining respect in return. Thank you for all your time you have given Violet and I. Training with you makes owning a horse fun. Helen Cheney Grafton MA.
