Hi Heather,

Just wanted to thank you SO MUCH for trailoring
Sailor to my place. 
I admire your peaceful way with horses in the way
you speak and handle them.  More people need to
learn this way of handling horses. You made
Sailor's trip very positive which was quite a
big deal as he had made a big stink of his last trip. 
This trip was effortless and smooth
“sailing”—pardon the pun! 
The trust horses can put in people if handled
the right way is very heart warming.
We had a good day overall here. 
Thanks again.
Shannon




Heather you are the worlds best!!  couch, trainer,..... well everything...  you are
so good at what you do. I have been working up there for like a year now and I
watched horses come and go, and no matter what they needed ,, like to be broke in or
taught manners you can do it all and you send them home better than ever, you always
do a great job! I would recommend you to anyone! and you are a great person and an
awesome friend,. I am so glade I met you. your the best!

Hello Heather,

I wanted to say THANKS again for all that you did for Jon-Boy.  It is more than
evident in him.

We feel wonderfully delighted about our experience at Rein Tree Farms. Our mare has become
a lady who understands what is being asked of her and the  tender  but masterful hand of
Heather Gunning has equipped our horse to take us on many happy rides. Now Heather is
working hard at teaching my sister and I how to ride with confidence so we can have safe
adventures together. If you need assistance and guidance in your equestrian pursuits seek out
Heather as she will give you knowledgeable advice to get you on track.

Very grateful,
Karen Brown & Kelly Zwicker

Heather GUNNING owner and trainer at Rein Tree Farm- What can I say! I was starting to think that my horse wasn’t suited to me and that I should sell him. I had tried another trainer with no results. 

Finally, I have found a trainer who is helping me configure a plan to help me progress and reach my goals. Using principles and practices that are universally applicable, Heather introduced me to horsemanship that is both fun and safe and helped me to work successfully with my horse through a balance of communication and leadership. She understands how to effectively manage the prey-predator relationship.

My horse not only now does what I ask him to do- he anticipates it. I now have enjoyable riding experiences! I have already booked my new horse for a month’s training and assessment. I am looking forward to a long-term relationship with Heather as a trainer and mentor. Truly, money well invested.
