Looking for a Horse Trainer in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania or beyond?

If you’ve been in need of a trainer or a lesson facility or clinician, I bet you have long since realized that truly talented, caring horsemen and women aren’t all that easy to find.

The trainers and judges of the Appalachian Trainer Face Off not only proved their extreme skill and excellence, but they also proved they were caring, honest and sincere.

A more awesome combination when you’re looking for someone to work with a horse you care about would be impossible to beat, and that is why we want to take a moment to share their names, locations and webpages, so that you can contact them if you are in need of their services and spread the word!

GREAT  TRAINERS ARE INVALUABLE!

The Appalachian Trainer Face Off is Coming: The Hype Video

WE cannot wait!
We hope this video makes you all ask excited as we are for these horses and their trainers to have their moment to shine!
The concept is simple:
Making More Horses HIGHLY adoptable is what this event is about and dispelling the Myth that rescue horses are in some way less because a person let them down along the way.
Displaced equines that have been abandoned or neglect and turn them into awesome equine partners through pairing them for 100 days with trainers across the Appalachian region.
For 100 days, trainers work with their horse making him an accomplished, willing equine partner, and the pair competes for 2 days in August, ending in a free style competition, showcasing their abilities as a horse and trainer team.
The trainers stand to show their skill with difficult cases. The horses stand to gain knowledge that go with them into their adoptive homes, showing what rescues are capable of for many years to come.
Many people now know this region has an abandoned and neglected horse problem. We operate in the Heart of Appalachia.
This is an area that is often rural and battles abject poverty.
We believe the Appalachian Trainer Face Off can make more horses adoptable, prove rescue horses have value and highlight excellent trainers.
Essentially, the FACE OFF will go a long way bu bringing HOPE to previously neglected horses.
