Testimonials.....
“Buying my horse from Kurt was one of the most rewarding experiences in my evening career. He did not just sell me another sale horse, but a life partner. Kurt’s attention to matching each horse and rider is incomparable. When buying a horse from Kurt you can be assured you’re making a solid investment, coupled with a true professional who will be there for you every step of the way.” -- James Daniel Conner III
“Kurt has given me the tools to achieve success and the confidence to move up the levels. After a long hiatus away from eventing my mare and I started the year at Beginner Novice, and finished successfully competing at Prelim under his tutelage.” – Carolyn Rice
"Kurt has been my eventing coach for the last 4 years. Not only is he an amazing instructor, he is an extremely talented rider and an excellent horseman. He has helped me with several horses, always putting in a very professional effort. I have referred him to several friends who are thrilled to have found him. We will be watching him at the Olympics one day, mark my words" --Pamela Wilson
“This summer, I asked Kurt to help me find a young event prospect that I, as an amateur, could bring up the levels. He found me the perfect horse, suited to my needs, current skills, and goals for the future. He showed me several suitable candidates and helped facilitate every step of the shopping process, from first try all the way through the pre-purchase exam. I could not have found Copernicus without his help and connections, as the horse was for sale by word-of-mouth only. My happiness with purchasing Copernicus grows with every ride, and I truly can’t imagine a better horse for me.” -- Ellyn Willis
"Thank you so much for assisting me in finding my dream horse Escapde. He is a perfect match and his purchase along with your training is allowing me to fulfill my ambitions as a young rider. “Elliot” has lived up to everything you said he would be, and I absolutely love him. I am thrilled with the confidence and ability that he displays that is an evident result of your training. I know that the next time I am in need of another horse I can trust you to find me exactly what I need." --Rebecca Goodman
“Kurt has helped me develop my green horse and my own riding through systematic, confidence-building training. He has helped us both be successful while enjoying the process.” --Julia Korey
