Sara Licht driving Karner

October 27, 2009

Sara Licht did an excellent job training my two horses to drive.  I am so impressed with how calm and patient, and yet firm she is with my horses.  Before Sara began to work with my 6 year old, he would bolt and run away when he was afraid or confused about learning something new – he is a big horse, so he got away with it before Sara started to work with him!  Sara knew how to patiently get Karner to trust her and want to work with her.   It is so wonderful to feel so safe driving and riding Karner now.   He is so well mannered.     I get compliments about him all the time!  I would highly recommend Sara as a horse trainer – she is a horse whisperer in my eyes!!

I have sent unbroke or green-broke horses to several trainers around Wisconsin over the years.  Sara Licht is my new favorite by far!  I would not hesitate to send my next horse to Sara.  I sent my pony mule to Sara for riding-and-driving training, and she met and exceeded my expectations.  She customized her training methods to meet his personality – the kind of flexibility I appreciate since every horse is a bit different.  Her communication with us as the owners was top notch – we received regular updates on his progress, health, etc.   She treated him like one of her own – he got as good if not better care with Sara than he would have at home!  “Diesel” thrived under Sara’s care – he absolutely LOVED working for Sara, and with all the time and attention he got with her, he came home to us a well trained and ready to work companion!  I highly recommend Sara Licht for equine training.

Sara,

Thank you for your emergency help on Saturday for Knee Knock and me with trailer loading issues.  The following day at Gov. Dodge I was forced to recall your directions – ie - breath deep and stay calm, don’t pull on him!!, tap on his shoulder until he moves forward and keep him straight while loading – to the letter.  KK went into the trailer after but a few protests.  We were both calm and happy when the task was complete.  The small performance from him was good for me.  I got through it with success and gained confidence in the doing.

It is worth noting:  Our work together has been beneficial in more areas than horses.  I would say the day you sat me on the pail and had me ‘ground’ myself before going any further with KK was the most useful.  I use that lesson with my students, waiting at checkouts, with family members (I try harder) as well as with Knee Knock.

KK has become a much nicer horse to be around and I like to think likewise of my self.  I have much to learn but  but the successes KK and I have gained with your help have made working with him much more fun.

Sara, I look forward to our future lessons.
