A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
Currently I have recently graduated from Columbia College for Business Administration with a double major in International Business and Business Management. I have been a professional trainer for the past 4 years, and have been competing eventers and hunter/jumpers for the past 8 years. While in high school I branched out and competed in High School Rodeo and speed events! Currently I am breaking and training horses at Bell Oaks Farm for Klaus Biesenthal, and have opened my own business: Soft Touch Training. There we do mostly dressage and driving horses and ponies. I am also taking horses in training at home. Training is $400 a month and includes board. I am available for lessons: Private lessons are $50 an hour and group lessons are $35 with a minimum of 3 per group. Lessons include dressage, hunters, eventing, and basic riding lessons.

For more information please contact me here or at blon_de_05@yahoo.com or call me at (815) 291-3403.

    Melinda, hey, nice to "meet" you! By any chance, do you give jumping lessons? I am really interested in learning just the basics.

    Have a great day,

    Hi Melinda,
    If you're training for Klaus Biesenthal, then you must be in the Rockford, IL area. Right? I grew up not far from there in Janesville, WI. Looks like you're having fun with your horses! Let me know if I can every be of service either as a photographer or web designer.
    Take care!
