Next winter, I am hoping to send my youngster to Ocala for a couple months (not necessarily to WEC, just the Ocala area). I would like to find a trainer who would keep him in a F/T program where he will continue to progress. It would be great if he could go to WEC a time or two for experience, but I do not want him to live at the showgrounds.
I know Kim Burnette and Kyle Dewar, but Kyle doesn’t do a lot of hunters, and they’re both higher end than my goals/needs warrant. (Although I probably should consider Kim…she’s lovely and that farm is beyond gorgeous). I’m using my network, of course, but I thought it couldn’t hurt to ask here.
I’m headed to Ocala later this month, and thought I could use the time to scope out the possibilities. I want to find someone who provides excellent care, training, and sufficient turnout.
P.S. If it matters, I’m making this decision because I’m tired of riding in the cold, wet, dark winter. I’d rather him be somewhere nice, and I’ll come down to ride some weekends.
