Amy Hanssen Training Center competes at horse shows both locally and state-wide. We also support and encourage the ownership and exhibition of the American Quarter Horse. We feel it is important to personalize each horse and rider combination based on their own individual needs and promise to commit ourselves to your satisfaction by developing the skills of both horse and rider to the best of their abilities. The results produce winning combinations both inside and outside of the show arena.

PROFESSIONAL HORSE TRAINING

The most successful rider and horse teams benefit from the training offered by the Training Center's renowned trainers Amy Hanssen and Virginia Beaton. They work with owners to bring their horse to a higher level of performance with their proven techniques and experienced hands.

Some horses may need a basic tune-up before the show season while other green horses require more education to become seasoned competitors. Amy and Virginia will assess your horses skills, attitude and abilities and recommend a training plan to fit your showing needs and budget.

HORSE SHOWS

All students are eligible to attend the many horse shows during the year. Both one-day and multi-day shows are available. Lesson horses are available to be show-leased for those students not owning their own horse. Talented horses are available for all levels of competition.

HORSE SHOW GROOMING:

Students are invited to groom for a horse show as an opportunity to "Learn Their Way Around Horse Showing." Activities include pre-show, tacking up, grooming and holding horses for those students showing. This is an excellent way to prepare for your day in the show ring.
