 Am I really the Weirdo?

Location: Kansas | outrundaizy - 2014-09-09 3:59 PM I would say Latricia Duke fits in here pretty good. ALOT of her horses continue to have great success after they go on with different riders. I have never used her personally but man, if you just watch some of her horses they run so simply and flawless.
She was going to be my guess. I believe Linda Kay has sent horses to Latricia and all of Linda's are super nice & look easy to ride. |

| I'm not sure where you live but Lance Graves is awesome & sooooo smooth. Very easy to ride after & is always there for you when you need the help. A little more East would be Janis Wagner, Penny Russ, & Chris Coffey. I would watch any of them that you are interested in & talk to them. |

| Everyone is going to have a different opinion on who they think is the "best" trainer and who isn't. For every person that says they "love" a certain trainer there is going to be someone who "hates" them too. The best advice I could give you is, if is is possible for you to go to a big futurity, go and watch them not only inside the arena and outside it. Venture over to the practice pen and watch how they work their horses. Take a stroll through the stalls to see how clean they keep them. I guarantee you would be shocked at some of the poor conditions I've seen those horses living in with some of your so-called "big name" trainers. Also some might pick and be a little rougher than you might think they would be. I've been around the futurity scene for 20+ years now and have seen a lot. Having been in the practice pen watching for many years and around the stalls and such, honestly, I don't know if there is a trainer I would send my horse to. There are some I would probably try, but there is a much longer list of who I would not send one to unless my only intention was for the horse to win a lot of money for it's futurity year. |

| have a friend that has multiple horses with molli and she has ridden ALOT of horses behind alot of people and says molli is the easiest to ride behind that you could dream of.... I believe the new horse Jackie rides that she calls "Sweet Tater" was trained by Molli.. Cheryle Laws makes it look like a drunk person who had never ridden could ride behind her, LOL, they look so smooth but I dont know how much she trains. And alot of people say Marne Loosenhort... Pete Oen has had some nice ones too |

Location: Nebraska | Andrea Cline! She started my filly for me and she was very easy to follow behind. Teaches the horse how to be independent and not rely so much on how the rider rides. |
