Thank you so much for the 60+ days of training you put on Duke, our 6-year old half Arab/Appaloosa. He is certainly a more respectful horse now. He has always been a high energy horse, but he seems more relaxed now in all situations. You have given him confidence. He is even a better pasture mate with our other horses since he returned home. Frank and I enjoyed watching you work with Duke and with our yearling since we could actually see their transformation happening. They are so much easier to be around and are more willing to do what is asked of them. I would certainly recommend you and your training methods to anyone. We wish you much success in your work with horses. And I'm sure we'll be sending more your way. Thanks, again.

Rachel and I met almost four years ago, while we were both continuing our education at a horsemanship clinic. Sharing common goals and ideals, we became instant friends.
Rachel is a bright, energetic, and ambitious young woman; who's strong belief in God fosters her gentle but firm approach to horse training. She focuses on building confidence in the horse and the owner. Rachel exhibits all the qualities it takes to be a true professional.
Samantha Ohlsen,
Rachel's gift in establishing trust with both horses and humans, is in my opinion, unparalleled. I have, over the years, had the opportunity to witness the approaches of a number of trainers, and have without question, finally found someone whom is able to demonstrate effectively, what their philosophy is. I have seen proof, first-hand, of Rachel's training methods and abilities. The results are remarkable.
I sought Rachel's expertise with my first horse, a mare with more baggage than I had ever seen in one animal, and with her help, gave that horse a better future than she would have had otherwise. Now, with my second mare, Rachel is successfully building a foundation which will enable my horse to have unlimited equine discipline possibilities.
Rachel's talent in training is, for me, quite noticeable in the fact that the horse does not fear the knowledge they are being given, but instead, seem eager to learn; and appear to be fulfilled in the experience of that learning. The same holds true to how Rachel presents the information to the horse's owner. So many people are unable to deliver the necessary information; by either overwhelming their audience, or by leaving them in the dark all together. That is absolutely not the case here.
I would definitely recommend Rachel's training and lessons to anyone; not only to individuals with a horse that needs a foundation or to further their horse's ability, but also to anyone whom has a horse that needs help with manners or needs to be reminded that their future can be brighter than their past. All of God's creatures need to feel that they are part of something, and I believe that Rachel's unique approach will pave the way for that need to be realized.
