English

The English team resides at Beethoven Farm in Perrysburg, Ohio. Our trainer, Patty Saunders has had over twenty years of experience with horses from anything to retraining, coaching or showing.  The barn specializes in the retraining of off the track Thoroughbreds and Quarter/Appendix horses with a focus in the hunter/jumper disciplines. This gives the English team a unique experience in learning how to help retrain horses while also learning to properly equitate.   Patty spent numerous years showing at A and B shows primarily in jumpers and also taught at several highly regarded barns in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area.  She shares her knowledge and experience with riders at all levels for all ages.
