Brooke asked me to teach her to “PARK OUT” from the ground and in the saddle, we accomplished both but this mare is fired up (hence Champion Sport Horse) and would not stand still to be mounted in the saddle (Brooked always had to tie her, get on and then unsnap the lead). This was a difficult problem as she needed to stand still to park out on the ground to get up in the saddle. She also wanted to “rush” ahead of you when leading. I had her mare for 30 days and we accomplished alot without taking away the fire she needs for the show ring!

At 4:53pm on December 5, 2009, Brooke Burgess said… Hello Gail I am now a member of tennessee trail riders, my buckskin was happy to be home, To ANYONE looking for a great trainer, consider Gail!! She did a great job with my mare and I am very PLEASED with her..thanks Gail!!!
