Keri Sammons
I am a professional horse trainer. I have trained, raised and shown horses my entire life. I have been training professionally for the last 12 years and been giving riding lessons for just as long. I have Bachelor of Science in Equestrian Studies with a minor in business. For the last six years, I have been training and running race horses. It has been an exciting endeavor and has taken me to several different states. I have owned, trained and raced some amazing horses.
My other areas of training include:
- starting young horses under saddle
- refreshing older horses
- problematic horses
- dressage
- jumping
- ranchwork
- race training (from starting under saddle to running on the track)
- pleasure
- show and
- riding lessons on all the above mentioned
I am writing for Suite 101 because I am passionate about horses and all the issues involved with them. I want to educate my readers on topics associated with all walks of life when it comes to horses. My articles are all based on experiences I have had in the horse industry.
