Paige Lebbrandt
"I found it very enjoyable and easy to learn from. I loved the use of illustrations and photos as well as the presentation. I loved the idea that you could print out the picture of the blank horse to label it to learn the different points. It was a really nice course that taught me really interesting things about horses."
