We brought our recently acquired horse to Crescent Ridge to have him evaluated. We basically rescued Ole from a bad situation and knew nothing about his background. Jessie was able to work with him and find out exactly what kind of training he might have had in his past. We found out that he knew nothing. Jessie took this 13 yr old horse who had no training and in 6 weeks turned him into a horse with a basic understanding of what he was expected to do when asked by his humans. Crescent Ridge brought Ole along nice and slowly since he had been turned out to pasture for 3 yrs and was in poor shape physically. He was about 200 or more pounds overweight. Ole came back home fit and trim and ready for anything we wanted to do with him. Ole was the 2nd horse we brought to Crescent Ridge to be trained. We recommend Crescent Ridge to ANYONE who has a horse to be trained. Both Nancy and Jessie kept us posted on the horses' training and how well they were coming along. They worked with both us and the horse to learn how the training process was done. We rode our horses under their close supervision and knew that when we brought our student horse home, we understood how his training was done and how to get the same results with him at home. I will be bringing ALL my horses who are in need of training to CRESCENT RIDGE and can recommend them to anyone in need of a decent, humane trainer.

     Thank you for all your help and time.  Thanks for sponsoring me for the Warren County Rodeo Queen 2006.  Thank you for allowing me to work for you this summer and giving me such a good learning opportunity.  I would also like to thank you for letting me stay the night so often.  I had a lot of fun.

Thanks a lot,

   I couldn’t be more pleased with the care and training my horses received at Crescent Ridge Ranch! My 5 year old gelding, Ricco, went to CRR for a tune-up last spring and has done extremely well this show season. He came home with 4 ribbons from the ARHA World Show in Tennessee and even filled in at the last minute as the mount for Hailey when her horse was unable to compete in the 11 and under walk/trot class. We took Amateur Reserve High Point 2 points behind first place for MoRHA, Reserve Adult High Point for MRSC and APHA PAC High Point in Western Riding--a very rewarding year!

   Trader is just 3 and I was having some trouble putting the pieces together when riding him. Jessica worked with Trader’s collection and then showed me how to achieve the same results. Her patient and supportive style of training helped me accomplish my goals and he is placing in classes that are a challenge for older more experienced horses.

   WOW, what a difference in just 30 days! I took my very green 2 year old gelding to Crescent Ridge Ranch and after a month he is loping around the arena on a loose rein. Jessica has done a fabulous job with his training and I feel confident that he is being well cared for during his stay at CRR. No matter how many questions I ask, Jess is always happy to answer them and help me better understand the process of starting a young horse.

   Being a client of Crescent Ridge Ranch and considering Ms. Krenski a friend, I know that she would be an asset to any organization that is fortunate enough to enlist her as a judge, clinician or trainer.

   Being lucky enough to have a very sharp, skilled eye that can recognize the minutest moves that a horse and rider make and the ability to communicate with both horses and people, she makes riding fun and learning easy.  The results are fabulous and swift.

   Additionally, she maintains an easy, level-headed attitude, demonstrating patience and kindness with horses entrusted to her care. Jessica possesses knowledge of a wide variety of equine events, over the course of her life; she has tried almost any event associated with showing horses.

   Crescent Ridge Ranch took excellent care of our 3 year old mare turning her into a trusted mount for my 10 year old son, Patric. She is very willing and quiet.  We even participated in a local parade after she sat for many months with phenomenal results.  No one believed she hadn t been in parades for her entire life or that she was as young as she is.  We never worried about her care while she was in training.

   Dude and I have done so much together that I do not know where to begin. To start with, I should tell you how Dude and I met. About three years ago, I had a young barrel horse (Dusty) that was not working out for me. It was the month that 4H Horsemanship started and I could not get him under control. When one of our family friends, Michelle Dreyer told us that one of her friends, Nancy Krenski, had the perfect horse for me. My mom gave Nancy a call. She told us to come out and give him a try. On the day that I saw Dude, I knew that he was going to be part of my horse career. Dude is one of the sweetest horses that I have owned, and he takes good care of me. The first year that I got Dude, it was kind of rough because we were just getting to know each other, but we managed pretty well. That year in 4H I got reserve champion in Western Pleasure. I was a member of the Gateway Saddle Club, and overall, we placed 6th in Gelding Halter, and 5th in 3rd division barrels. Last year I placed 5th in the walk trot and western pleasure, and 3rd in 3rd division barrels. In 4H, I won reserve champion in western pleasure. Also, I started running for Rodeo Queens again. I won first runner up at Lincoln County Rodeo. I participated in the St. Charles Fair Rodeo as a member of the drill team (flag presentation). This year, in my opinion, has been the best ever. At Gateway Saddle Club I won 3rd overall in walk-trot barrels and 2nd in 3rd division barrels. In 4H I won 2nd in poles, reserve champion in western pleasure, reserve champion in showmanship, and 4th in barrels. In my rodeo queen career, I won the titles of 2007 Lincoln County Rodeo Queen, 2007 Warren County Rodeo Queen, and second runner up at Hawk Point Rodeo. This year I started showing English, and Dude won English walk trot, and English pleasure at Gaitway Walking Horse. If it wasn't for Nancy and Jessica giving me lessons with Dude to help get to know him better and teaching me the proper techniques of riding, Dude and I would not have been this successful.

THANK YOU SO MUCH NANCY AND JESS!!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Kelly

 

I was so impressed with the training my horse received at the Crescent Ridge Ranch!

Their tremendous experience and commitment was apparent in  every stage of the training. I especially loved how involved I was allowed to be in the work that was done with my horse. Their methods were obviously effective in the changes I saw even over a short period of time, and I could not be happier with the results.

Thanks! Molly Schultz
