| Lance Graves is awesome & is very light handed. He puts a great handle on one & is easy to ride after. Don't know how booked he is right now though.

| Thank you!
Arion could you send me more info? Location? And last name?
Anyone have any experience with Chris Martin? Clayton Criger? Not sure if Ty Mitchell or Betty Roper take in outside horses? |

I'll second Chris Martin. He's been training for us for 3 years now, and I just took over the reins of our now 6 yo that he trained and ran at futurities and derbys for us, and she is so broke and so easy. |

| Thank you for your input! Chris was def my top pick that I've been looking at. I have a 4yr old I am gonna be sending, she had 60 days put on her as 2 yr old by a top reining trainer and was lightly started on the barrel pattern (less than 60days), which she has since been pulled from since I decided to send her off. |

You never have to worry about the care your horse is getting and when you get them back they are sane and extremely patterned.
I have had some not so good experiences with big name trainers.
Do your homework and find someone you can ride behind and someone that does well with the type and personality of the horse you have before letting them take your horse. |

Go take a lesson with the trainer. And watch them ride the horses they have in training that day. See if they will let you ride a horse that they have trained. Especially with guys it can be hard to ride after them, but it can also be hard to ride after anyone if you don't have the same style. You can also see the condition their property is in and the condition of the horses there. |

Thank you, canchasr1, I really appreciate your kind words! Janna Beam is in Mt. Pleasant. I've not personally seen her train, but I know she had a good amout of success with a friend of mine's horse and she was pleased with her. |

| Jennifer Schmidt.
Had my mare for 30 days. We went from 3d-4d to 1d-2d. Love Jen. She made my mare correct and helped me learn to ride her correctly and keep my mare moving forward afterwards. She has a gift.
We were 3rd in the 1d out of 60 entries 2 runs after I got her home. Never been happier.

| Thank you everyone for the suggestions!
This is the filly I am wanting to send off. The video was taken last fall at the Josey clinic. I've been patterning her myself, this was with about her 33rd day on a pattern and year to date she only has 50 days.

Why in the world would you want to send her off? Looks to me like she's working very nice for you! I think you should save your money and just go on with her yourself. Nice filly and nice job!!!! |
