He also rode racehorses, and is a relaxed confident rider. Rachael is a gifted trainer. They can correct problems, start youngsters. They were kind enough to go to the Virginia Draft Horse and Mule Show with us in November 2011 and we have never done better. The stallions never looked so well, and Bryan showed them in classes we weren’t brave enough to attempt. English and Western Pleasure, Trail, Costume, and barrel racing and pole bending. We never had such a successful show. Mainly due to Rachael and Bryan’s expertise. We can’t thank them enough. Right now, we are starting the 2 year olds, and correcting problems from incorrect training of a beloved quarterhorse.
Rachael is a horse trainer with patience and wisdom. She has been especially good with our youngsters and green horses. She uses round pen gentle methods and gets wonderful results she is currently training our 2 and 3 year olds.
Both Rachel and Bryan have horses of thier own including a half Shire.
