 Linda Archer's Testimonial

Pictured here driving her mare, Star - trained by Teresa.

"I have had the privilege and honor of watching Teresa train numerous horses over the years, (2) of which were mine and always in awe of her amazing ability to gain the respect and trust of so many horses. Teresa has a natural born instinct... that enables her to bond with horses in such a short period of time. She understands that horses rely heavily on body language to communicate and she incorporates this into her training by using clear, consistent and when necessary stern aids that allows horses to willingly accept their new surroundings. Teresa truly lives and breathes horses and will take the additional step to help a horse and rider overcome obstacles, I can remember countless hours chasing down school buses, UPS trucks and dump trucks to help my mare overcome a close encounter with a speeding car hauler that got to close for comfort. I would recommend Teresa to anyone that is looking to start a youngster, retrain a horse or learn to drive. There are not too many people like Teresa left that you can trust to take good care of your horse and in the end have a horse that you can feel comfortable to be around."

 "Teresa is the most amazing trainer! I highly recommend Teresa if you want a well trained horse with perfect manners. From ground tie to trailer self-load and everything in-between a "Teresa trained" horse is a pleasure to work around and a confident, fun ride - no matter what discipline you choose. I just LOVE my horse!"

 Barbara Beers' Testimonial

 "My 17 hand 2010 Dutch Warmblood was an unruly big guy who used his body to intimidate when I took him to Teresa in May of this year. She had him in "boot camp" for a couple of weeks in the beginning (he quickly responded to Teresa's firm b...ut kind corrections) and from there he has become a perfect gentleman. He is under saddle now and according to an international FEI rider/trainer who visited recently, "has been started as beautifully and correctly as any (she's) seen." Teresa works harder than any trainer I've known and the end product shows it!"

 Christine Yeasel's Testimonial

Pictured here: her Clydesdale "Clyde" with her daughter Angel.

 "Teresa is the best! She has been training my 4 year old Clydesdale from the ground up. I can now ride him and drive a cart with him. The best part of Teresa's training is she is so patient and as she trained Clyde she showed me everything at the same time. I did everything with Clyde that she was teaching him so we knew how to work together as a team and he totally respects me as his owner. She did not charge me anything extra for this it is all part of her training. With the ground manners that she put into Clyde I can even have children around him and know he is going to be safe for them..that is priceless! We are still learning and I wouldn't trade Teresa for anyone."

" Over the years Teresa has started an Arab, a Saddlebred and seven Quarter Horses for me. I can not say enough about the high level of horsemanship skills she has. She is currently training my two year old Einstiens Revolution filly. Every horse gets the attention they need when they need it. She has a very calm assertive way of dealing with all the things that happen when you handle so many different kinds of horses that come from so many different kinds of handlers. She does an excellent job of starting young horses, but it doesn't stop there. She finishes a horse so that they are soft, light and responsive to the slightest cue. When she finished with my hot-blooded quarter horse Chester, I joked that he was so broke he could write out my Christmas cards. I can not thank her enough for what she has done for me personally, and for all my horses. I'm sure they would also thank her for making me a better horsewoman. As a veterinarian, I see a lot of different horses handled by a lot of different trainers. I did a three day clinic with Clinton Anderson, and I have taken lessons from various other professionals. Her skills and understanding of horse behavior and horse training measure up to them all. "

 "Wonderful Horse Trainer and really cares about what u want !" - Sandy Neville

"I have sent several horses to Teresa Pedley over the years for training , and have recommended her to a lot of my friends . I have also bought a few that she has trained and the deciding factor as to weather I bought them or not was due t...o her being their trainer .. Teresa has a soft voice and a soft hand to match , she can work with any horse , get her point across to them with out being mean , I have never ever seen a horse or heard of a horse coming from there after training with a head shy or jumpy problem .. She is one in a million trainer and I wish she was still in Maine ALL the time she is very much missed as both a friend and a trainer when she isn't here . I have friends in Fla. who will be taking their horses to her as well .." - Kathye Monroe
