About Allison
I have always held a very strong belief that talented horses can be trained and allowed to perform at the highest level without compromising the well being of the animal, physically or mentally. In this blog we will delve into the process of building performance horses in a sustainable way. As riders and trainers we have a unique opportunity to have an impact on a specific animal. This is both an honor and a responsibility. I hope you will join in the discussion. |

Keeping Busy!
 Willfully Guided with Allison Trimble hosted it's fourth successful Buffalo Fun Day. We are excited about the great turn out with new faces. Our lesson horses were ready to go and teach a new group of people.
Jennifer Odle, of Equine-N-Harmony Bodyworks came with her family to experience the buffalo first hand. Jennifer has a passion for horses with her business as a massage therapist and enjoys riding recreationally. Jennifer has always wanted to ride a cutting horse. She was excited about to hear about our Fun Days and be able to experience a ride with our cowhorses. "It was really neat. The horses are well trained and so sweet," Jennifer said. "I was excited I didn't fall off!" We are also excited to have Jennifer working on our horses here at the ranch contributing to our Willfully Guided program. See her, "Introduction to Bodywork: What is Energy" on our blog. |
