Testimonial- Amy started out a rider and has advanced to a teacher, competitor (at the highest level) and has a very successful fulltime equine business both in Arizona and Pennsylvania. “Being a horse trainer was my childhood Dream. I knew l had to get some more education if l was going to be successful. That's when l found Global Equine Academy. The courses where so helpful as well as challenging. It’s been helpful to have the "big world" picture that Gene and Sandy painted for us as we learned about training horses. There are so many options for having a career with horses. 10 years after completing the academy l am running a thriving Training/Lesson/boarding barn in Pennsylvania as well as going to Arizona and competing successfully in barrel racing. This all would not be possible without the knowledge l received through Global Equine Academy. I most appreciate that even years after going through the program l can call Gene and Sandy for advice. They are both gifted teachers and it is there passion to help grow the horse industry. “
