When training horses graduate and depart for home, it's a bittersweet moment for me. On one hand, we achieved our goals together; on the other, saying goodbye is hard! Yet, their departure marks new beginnings and opportunities for new horses to enter my program. Reach out if you are interested in sending your horse for training this spring or summer!
