Lisa too, would never have thought back in 1996 that she would be working with Haflingers. She has successfully shown and trained horses for over 30 years now. She started in small 4-H shows and moved her way through open to intercollegiate to eventing over a 5 state area. When she and Terry met, Lisa was actively showing her thoroughbred off the track, Lucky. She was a 4-H horse advisor in Tuscarawas County for 10 years and Knox County for 3. She also for a number of years gave private riding lessons in jumping, dressage and hunter under saddle and had MANY top riders competing at the 4-H, State and open show levels. Some of those students are now competing at National Levels and even training and giving lessons to students of their own! She cut back on showing when she and Terry married in 1997. When Terry mentioned he wanted to start driving horses they purchased a young quarter horse mare that did not want to be a driving horse. In 2002 a friend of Terry's mentioned haflingers and the rest, as they say is history!!! A few years ago she finally gave in and sold her last thoroughbred and now works with the Haflingers with Terry. She does the finish work and is successfully competing in western, english, dressage, pleasure driving and showmanship.
