| Year One - Advanced Riders Program |
Diane
has followed the John Lyons method of training since she first saw him at a symposium in the early 1990’s. In 2006,
Diane decided to expand on her knowledge of horses by taking part in a three year horse trainer certification program offered
by Matt Gable of Gable Horsemanship. As a John Lyon’s certified trainer and former apprentice of Ken McNabb, Matt has the knowledge, expertise, and patience to teach students from all disciplines, ages, and level of experience. Diane
completed Advanced Riding, year one of Matt’s program, in November 2007. On November 16, 2008 she completed year
two, Performance Training and Training the Unbroke Horse (click for Colt Starting photos). Year three of Matt's program involves learning about different disciplines including hunter under saddle,
western pleasure, reining, dressage, etc.

| Saddlemaking in Process |
Greg decided to expand on his interest in horses by learning about the
saddle making business. In December 2005 he traveled to Colorado to learn the art of custom saddle making under the careful
instruction of master saddle maker, Dusty Johnson. Greg spent two weeks at Dusty’s ranch building his own custom saddle, which has a special place of prominence in Greg’s
saddle shop.
