Joanne Anderson

  Preparing horses for the show ring is not easy.    It takes commitment, dedication and time.   Regardless if you are preparing one or seven horses.   Although I can tell you from experience that working to prepare 7 horses for the show ring takes a lot of time and effort... not to mention patience.  
   
I am just one of many dedicated souls that happens to enjoy turning out a horse that they have trained and conditioned themselves to exhibit.
   
If you also exhibit in Open, you need to be prepared to compete against some of the top trainers in the nation.
   
Conditioning and training a horse for the show ring does not just mean exercising them.  It means teaching them to stand in position and also be alert when asked. It also requires a proper diet and taking the time to learn proper grooming techniques to show off your horses' best features. 
   
Liberty is one of my favorite classes.  I think its the least stressful class and I enjoy taking the time in picking just the right music for each horse. : )
   
ADVICE:   Start with a quality horse; Don't bite off more than you can chew; and be prepared to dedicate the necessary time to train the horse to be prepared come show time.

Happy Showing!
Joanne
