Joe Harrison is a great example of how an “occasional” horseman can develop into a champion. As a kid growing up in Walla Walla, Washington, Joe had very little supervision when working with horses, and no training. He admits that most of his experiences ended awkwardly for both him and the horse. Despite these setbacks, Joe’s inner desire to connect with and love animals survived.
We hope that everyone had a lovely holiday. We pray that you, your family and your horses are safe and healthy. As Americans, we have so many things to be grateful for. We at MM Training and Consulting want to express how grateful we are to have you all in our lives. You challenge us, you inspire us, and you make us laugh a lot. It truly is an honor to have you and your children in our horsey family.
Alyssa Miller, 17, and LTH Dee Bar Quincy (Cierra), 4, make equitation patterns look easy, trail obstacles a cakewalk and showmanship no sweat. The pair was a formidable team in the north Idaho open shows last summer and won the 2009 MM Training and Consulting Versatility Award Competition belt buckle. Alyssa does all of Cierra’s training herself, which made the victory sweeter.
Ryan Minden, from Potlatch, Idaho, competes on Oops T Riffic Luck, a six-year old AQHA mare he bought as a weanling in 2002. Though Ryan’s mom is a horse trainer, he raised and trained “Lucky” himself. Ryan and Lucky compete in showmanship, all western events and Omoksees. For the first time in 2008, Ryan traded his chaps for a pair of breeches and competed in English classes. The pair did well, placing in the top three in several classes.
Alyssa Virgin, from Moscow, Idaho, competes on her Warmblood, Double Queen (Queenie). The Belgin/Thoroughbred mare has been Alyssa’s partner for the last three years. The pair excels in English classes where Queenie’s athleticism and big stride are best showcased, but they also compete in showmanship, western events and Omoksees.
