First we would like you to understand that we do not board and train full time. We both have full time careers and have our horses and train yours for the love of it. We both have 30 years of horse experience and enjoy putting it to good use and educating both horses and people. -Lisa and Jack Gerdon.
Jack and Lisa share a common philosophy and that is that each horse is an individual, but at the same time is still a horse. They have both spent their lives learning the art of communication, not how people communicate, but how horses communicate. Through that they can help your horse learn and you to learn your horse. In their own horses and others, they believe that often the most difficult horses to start will often be your best competition horses, you just have to be patient, firm and consistent.
