✅Wes has been through the whole gamut of students. He used to teach the more advanced students a great canter depart and how to do a downward transition. He is a pro at teaching a nice steady canter into and out of small jumps. Over the years, he dabbled in barrel racing and pole bending. Now, he is our go-to for IEA shows and teaching the advanced beginners all about pace and jumping.
