"Copper" is shown here with Luke Hoskins, our Barn Manager.
Luke continues his education for a degree in Equine Management. He follows the teaching of natural horsemanship and puts this knowledge into practice while working and riding our horses.
Luke strives to a higher level of understanding and communication with horses by continually practicing, learning and challenging himself and the horse. (His favorite learning tool is participation in clinics offered by Chris Cox at the Diamond Double C Ranch in Texas and highly recommends them!)
We are very lucky and proud to have Luke with our facility and expect that we are just a starting point for this talented young man's career.
