Our Resident Trainer
Caroline Hudon
Caroline is a lifelong equestrian. Hailing from "down South", she rode competitive Hunter/Jumpers for the University of Auburn's Equestrian Team. Luckily, she now calls Montana her home, and she is building her equine career beyond her own riding goals. Caroline learned from her trainer how to break colts and train all ages of equines humanely and effectively. Her ability to build bonds, correctly desensitize, proper groundwork and under saddle training make her toolbox of training methods a building block for whatever discipline you participate in.
Pictured above is an example of one of Caroline's successes - she raised the colt from birth and trained the horse to be successful in the hunter ring!
