Testimonials

SCOTT PEPPET

lthough I've had a horse for a decade, I would still consider myself a fairly novice rider. I figured if Alice could ride Copper, I could too! I honestly have never felt as comfortable on a horse as I do on Copper. He is calm & careful, curious, brave, & generally just incredibly solid. I’ve taken him out on long trail rides by ourselves, & he has no issues with streams, rivers, roads, cars, motorcycles, trucks, helicopters, mowers, cows, deer, eagles, etc. More than that, he learns quickly & is very connected to humans. Altogether, he’s a great horse. I can’t recommend the Nelsons highly enough.

My experience with the Nelson’s has been one that I’ll never forget. I purchased a wonderful gelding from them in September 2020. When I went out there to try horses I was amazed at Anne’s horsemanship which they apply each & every day to all their horses. To me this is priceless & having a horse that has been brought along with this kind of thoughtful training is just about impossible to find elsewhere.

I spent two years looking for the right horse for my husband. I finally found the perfect horse at Nelson Ranch. Anne and Curt are incredibly knowledgeable, & they train solid, dependable horses that have a great foundation & can go many directions. They are also decent, kind, honest people who have been a pleasure to work with. Their training methods result in mentally & physically sound horses, which is a rare thing these days.
