Testimonials
Sometimes it is hard to know what kind of care or training your horse will receive and especially with someone who just started advertising their services.  Though I have 20 years of training experience, new customers may not know whether or not they want to trust in my knowledge.  The following are actual unedited comments from my customers which hopefully makes your decision a little easier.

When I bought my Arabian gelding, he was just a yearling and I paid a good deal of money for him.  He comes from good El Jo Mar Arabian stock and is worth every penny.  When it came time to "break" him the spring of his 3rd year, I started looking for the best possible training at a reasonable rate.  MY 17 year old Arabian gelding came from The Ulmer Stock of Arabs.  He was trained by Tricia and her father, shown by Tricia and at the age of 14 I got him.  I could tell from my "old" boy that he had never been abused, but was very well trained and respectful.  That is what I wanted with my baby.  When I found out Tricia was advertising to train horses other than her own, I didn't waste any time getting my baby over there.  Without overworking my baby, she has brought him to a level that takes most people years to accomplish. To watch Tricia at work is incredible.  She is patient, consistent and persistent.  If you ever get a chance to see Tricia at work, whether it be showing or training, do it, you will never regret the experience.

I sent a 4 year old Half Arabian, who had minimal handling, for training.  Within days, Trish was able to gain her trust and proceed with extensive training.  Siix weeks later when we brought the horse home, we were very pleased as the results were well above our expectations.   Importantly, the horse was well cared for, happy and willing to learn while at Trish's training facility.  I would highly recommend Trish as a trainer.

Trish is a Godsend!!!!
When I finally had to acknowledge that I didn't have the time necessarty to train my horse under saddle, she was 5 years old.  I had waited to see if she would mature and settle down some.  The wait paid off.
I had started doing ground work as soon as I got her, so she was used to being handled.  Trish has many of the same ideas about training that I have, so it was a natural transition for my horse.  My horse has a very quick mind.  Trish was able to use that to our advantage. 
Each time I see my horse, I am so grateful for the decision to place her with Trish.  I only had to suggest something that I wanted my horse to be doiong and the next time I rode her, I couldn't be happier.
My horse is due to be bred next year (2007).  You can bet that when it is time, I will be giving Trish a call to handle the under saddle work with the new horse, as well.
She is very capable, thorough, and patient trainer.  She has also turned into a good friend.  I would recommend her and her talents to anyone.
