Testimonial

Tessi & Roni at the Morgan Sport Horse Classic '08

Dear Lisa, It is so good to have our filly, Tessi, back after her month in "summer camp" at your ranch. I wanted to let you know how happy Hank and I are with the care and experience Tessi had while in your care. Her one month of "summer camp" at your ranch achieved all the goals we hoped it would. As I told you when I brought her to your place, I wanted to improve her social skills, expand her range of experiences and prepare her for pulling a cart. She achieved all this and more.

She was able to expand her social skills safely and effectively in the company of another youngester (Hawk) and an older mare (Goldie). It was great that she had someone above her in the pecking order and someone she could be the "boss" of (a new experience for her). She even was able to become desensitized to llamas! You helped me prep her for the Morgan Sporthorse Classic by improving her responses in halter, and Tessi was able to excel, taking first place for fillies two years and under with me showing her!

Tessi is now able to pull poles in harness with a steadiness, confidence and enjoyment that is delightful to me. We'll be hooking her up to a cart before we know it! I am looking forward to building on the work you have done and we are looking forward to our weekly lessons with you.

Thank you for the care and heart you put into your training as well as your good communication and concern.

Roni and Hank Jennings
