While I really enjoyed working with Tim last year, he has decided to go back on the road, so he isn’t home near as much, and we don’t get to see him as we would like.
I received a phone call last week, an answer to my prayers actually. A familiar voice (though at the time I didn’t know why). We spent about an hour on the phone while I shelled my walnuts for the weeks bread orders. She was looking for expand her clientele as a riding instructor / trainer.
Since losing Tim to the road, we have not had anybody we could call upon to help us through our times of being at a loss when it came to training the horses. I’m also at a lose on how to carry Maggie and Comanche forward in their training.
After talking with Addie for some time, I decided we needed to meet. Our first meeting was canceled due to the weather. But, even that worked in our favor, as Nathan was home to also meet her today. We worked with Thunder when she got here, since she really hasn’t been worked since she came home from the trainers last year.
Nathan and Addie had a good session, and we were both very pleased with her training / instruction manners. She not only took the time to find out about our horse, but also our personal riding levels, our goals in riding, and what we want to accomplish. I can see Addie become a big part of our working stables, and adding a new dimension to Cloud 9 Ranch.

If you are looking to increase your riding skills, or have a troubled spot with your horse, I encourage you to give Addie a call. Addie works with all levels of riders and horses and we are definitely glad that she found her way into our lives. Addie can be reached by calling 423-408-9954
