She may not have the designer name "yet" but I can tell you this, you will come home with a nicely patterned horse t
I saw first hand what she has done with Rail Ditch this past weekend and impressed is an understatement. I wish I could post some videos. But, I don't really want to tell y'all about her either......because, SHE'S MINE ALL MINE!!!!
We have to share!!!
I have too many babies coming along to give her up completely!!
Have you given her any cats??? Didn't think so.......
I found her FIRST!!!
Didnt your momma teach you to share??? |

Location: Too far from home | I would guess it would depend on where you live and what you want to accomplish with the colt. If you want to go to a bunch of futurities and sell it later, I'd say Jolene or Molli Montgomery. If you'd like to stay local you can find many good trainers that just don't haul as much. Good luck! Such a fun (but nerve wracking) time starting a new project! |

| If you send your young horse to a trainer who is very active in the futurities how much is the horse going to be ridden and by whom? I'm talking about a young horse that isn't ready to be hauled anywhere, that has never seen a barrel. The BFA is going on this week and the futurities in Arizona will be cranking up pretty soon and those are just the ones I know of. I'm asking a question, not berating anyone. |

I would guess that's why I keep seeing the big name trainers 2 yr olds loping patterns in the last month so they can be turned out until April-may when there is a break in the big futurities. |

She may not have the designer name "yet" but I can tell you this, you will come home with a nicely patterned horse that is not blown up, crippled or starved and you can take straight to the pen to make a run on. And it will be HER riding it and not the token stall boy/ girl that you may get at some bigger names. ( been there done that)
She has started three of mine this year and I am one extremely picky person when I send a horse out to be trained. I have never been happy until I found her.
You beat me to it!!! I have seen the product and I will tell you, she does an amazing job.
Total performance....a lot of my current colts success is a direct result of YOUR program and the great job you did with him while he was in race training! I know without a doubt that the experience he gained with you has been instrumental in the success he will hopefully have in the future! Thank you so much for everything and Ricky loves his auntie!!! :)
LRQHS.....what can I say....I'm so in love with El Scorcho and the babies he is producing that I now have 2 at my house. To say I'm excited about the future for these colts would be an enormous understatement!!!! We're squeezing the juice, buddy!
Now, to answer the question asked by the OP, I would have to say Gunnar Enlow. He has recently taken over the reins to what I consider the most talented colt I have ever had the pleasure of starting......and also the most aggravating. I have never sent a horse out to anyone for anything other than to be broke or to go to the race track, but this colt was just too talented to sit through the winter while I'm unable to ride with the futurities right around the corner. After much discussion with my family and friends I sent my colt to Gunnar with the hopes he saw as much talent in him as I did while "appreciating" the things that make him a challenge and Gunnar has done just that and more. I admit I get more nervous and have more anxiety with him making a run on him than if I were doing it myself but at the end of the day I know that he is in absolutely the right place and I picked the perfect person to do what I am unable to with a full time job and other obligations this time of year.

Now you know without a doubt that I won't disagree with that statement!
Between you and Gunnar there will be an amazing colt on the 2015 scene!  |

| If you want to compete on the horse after, I suggest finding someone who rides similar to you this will make the transition easier.
If you are looking at futurity and selling or promoting for gain then I would try to get into the most successful trainer I can afford. I would also consider the horses personality and behaviour to ensure the trainer will compliment it, as there is a lot of money wasted when horses and trainers don't click.
Good luck |

Jeannie Anderson work a miracle with one of mine this summer. Could not be happier about how the mare came back, and Jeannie has been great to work with once I got her back.
I second this although I have never used her, I have close friends who have had great results with her. |
