Training for All Aspects of Performance & Partnership

"Hi Denise, I just wanted to thank you for all of the hard work and training you put into Mikey. I couldn't be happier with the results. Mikey arrived at your place as an unbroke horse and came home to me as a trail horse extraordinaire. I am able to trail ride Mikey at home all by himself and he never misses a step. For such a young horse, I feel that is quite an accomplishment. I couldn't believe that after only a few weeks of training with you that I'd be able to ride Mikey on a 7 mile trail ride with 8 other horses and to have him behave so perfectly. What a thrill that was. Thanks again for everything and I look forward to seeing you at your clinics. " Diane C

"I was having challenging and difficult time with my 2 yo gelding.I was fortunate to have found Denise Hopkins. She is reliable, confident, professional and experienced with horses. She will work with your schedule and come to your farm. In fact one day I was having a difficult time with my young horse, I called Denise for help and advice. She offered to come right over! Denise has inspired me and given me new insight on training. She is breath of fresh air in the horse training world! I highly advise folks looking for help with their equine partners to contact her. You'll be amazed." Kathy Derbyshire Warner New Hampshire

"Denise's ability was apparent from day one. She is truly in tune with the horses she touches and is always looking for further education to keep her fresh and able to keep gaining experience in this industry, which is a quality I truly respect. Having been an instructor and mentor for her, I enjoy watching her technique and confidence grow. Now, working along side of her I've grown to understand her hunger for becoming a successful trainer who truly wants to make a difference in this industry. She is a testiment to Kenny Harlow's training methods and a great addition to the Trust Team at Cedar Run Ranch." Tara Jones, Head Trainer Kenny Harlow Training with Trust

"I am so grateful to Denise and her help with my mare. When I purchased my mare she was sticky with loading. After only a month or two it progressed to a 2 -3 hour event. Denise came to my house and worked with the mare. Over a period of time came three times. Needless to say the mare loads and I don't need any help. A great relief for me since I'm often times going places with the horse alone!" Anna Schierioth Troy NH www.gapmtequestrian.com

"I can't thank you enough for all you did not only for Echo, but for me. I feel so much more educated, in how to manage horses, get into their brain, and better how to step in when I think the animal should be handled differently. You are a wonderful person and I'm so glad you chose this path. The horses, and their neurotic owners, really need you. With warm wishes, Jane...and see you again in a few!" Jane Fitzwilliam Antiques & Fine Art

"Denise is one of the best horsewomen I know. She is quiet, respectful, gentle but clear. The horses love her and do what she asks every time. I never worry she will be harsh or overly demanding while getting the results that I need. She is a consumate professional...on time, careful, thoughtful and with exquiste training. I can not recommend her any more highly."
