FIRST TRAINER FOR 2016 COLT STARTING CHALLENGE!
Our first trainer for the SEFHA 2016 Colt Starting Challenge is Amelia Eland. Last year, Amelia was an alternate. This year, we are happy to have her compete in the challenge. Amelia has been riding since she was a young child, as she was born with a love of horses. She specializes in colt starting, ground work to gain respect & control, "problem horses", desensitizing, and retraining off the track Thoroughbreds (OTTB's), as well as off the track Quarter Horses. She is a firm believer in Natural Horsemanship methods. Amelia prides herself on being an honest horsewoman - her Dad raised her to be an honest, hard working woman and to never give up on her dreams. She loves the thrill of competition, but ultimately, she loves seeing the results of her training. Amelia is a people person and she makes friends everywhere she goes. She loves to study and follow several trainers that she has looked up to for many years such as Tom & Bill Dorrance, Buck Brannaman, John Lyons, Monty Roberts, Clinton Anderson, Chris Cox, Kenny Harlow, & many more. Her accomplishments at other training challenges include an 8th place overall finish in the first annual Extreme Retired Racehorse Makeover in 2013 which is now called the Ultimate X Showdown, & also a 4th place finish in the under saddle division of the H4 Leap of Faith Feral Horse Makeover in 2014. She is certified in Equine Technology by Martin Community College, and has been starting colts & training horses for about 10 years. See her website here: http://www.adperformancehorses.com/ |
