Monica & Classy
I brought Classy to CEC in March of 2009 hoping to broaden my horizons as a horsewoman. Classy had been strictly studying dressage, and each of us were getting bored with the safety of the indoor arena. I've been absolutely stunned in the changes I've seen in Classy since bringing him to CEC. Prior to coming to CEC my horse was chronically wired, flipping over backwards in the crossties during bath time, bolting in a blind panic during training sessions, spooking at shadows and insects, the works. Now with just a couple of lessons of desensitization with Cassie, I've brought Classy to where he barely flinches when a flock of pheasants fly out of the tall grass on a trail. We can ride along the road kicking soda cans without skipping a beat. Plastic bag blowing around are no problem. What most amazes me is that Classy loaded into the trailer for the Fun Show without any hesitation and we didn't even work on this! A couple of years ago it took two of us a full hour to load him into the trailer and a bit of blood, sweat and tears were shed. What an amazing difference!
I love the laid back, friendly atmosphere at CEC. It is a small close knit community and I felt welcome immediately. Never did I feel out of place in my English tall boots and velvet hunt cap! I love that Dan and Cassie routinely have bon fires where they invite their friends, family and clients.
The trails at CEC are awesome! There is a nice range of difficulty on the trails, so you can laze along for a Sunday afternoon, or you can ride up and down crazy steep hills, run over jumps, ride through dense trees, gallop through tall grass, whatever you please. All without leaving the property.
Monica,
Thanks so much for the kind words. Dan and I have really enjoyed getting to know you and your family. Christopher really brightens up our days when you bring him along. We are so humbled that you feel so gracious towards us. Thanks for your business and friendship!
Love, Cassie and Dan
Emily & Nelson
Ever since I was 5 years old I LOVED horses. I BEGGED and BEGGED my annoyed parents at least twice a day for a horse. Eventually I gave up all hope on a horse so I started to ask for a bunny. On Christmas Day, 2008, my parents bought me a "bunny" and I was so exited. After a 20 minute drive, I arrived at CEC. My dad showed me to the tack barn and I looked in the stall and I found my new horse, Nelson. When we bought Nelson he was a perfect and well-trained horse. Nelson had no problem doing anything you asked him to do because he was Dan's horse. Dan used to take Nelson to shows and trail rides on thier property. By the end of December, Nelson went from a perfect little angel to a biting crazy horse because I didn't know ANYTHING about training horses. At one point I was scared of Nelson. Cassie and Dan helped me with my confidence level. During the summer and year of 2009, Nelson went from crazy horse to calm trained horse because of all the help, care, and lessons with Cassie and Dan. In the month of November Nelson was in training with Cassie and Dan and went from trained horse to well trained horse. Now I am fearless when riding Nelson because of all of the lessons and tips given to me by Cassie and Dan. I have learned so much over the one year I have been boarding at CEC. I am now working on jumping, barrel racing, and trail rideing. CEC is perfect because there are great trails, crazy hills, cheap boarding prices, lessons, jumps, pole and barrel patterns, and Cassie and Dan :) I am now 12 years old and I went from shy wimp to cowgirl:) I don't have many friends in school so whenever I go out to CEC, it's like nothing in the world exists but me and Nelson. I also like CEC because I can go out and help out by doing chores at the ranch.~Emily
Emily,
You are such a wonderful and fun young lady. It has been so interesting getting to know you and help you with your first horse. Dan and I are so happy that you love Nelson (AKA: Blue) as much as you do. You two have really grown into a unique pair! We can't wait to see what your future with him will be like!
Love, Cassie and Dan
When I was in 3rd grade I wanted to have a horse I knew nothing about them but how pretty they are and that you can ride on their backs. When I met Cassie I was scared to death of horses I wouldn't even pet them becuase I was so afraid of them. When I decided I wanted to take lessons I told my mom and dad about CEC they talked to Cassie and sure enough I was taking lessons the next week. When I first started I was very afraid to be on the horse after taking 12 lessons with Cassie I am now doing trail rides with my freinds, galloping up hills as fast as I can, and most importantly I am respecting the horse to the fullest extent.

Of course I didn't learn all of this on my own I had a ton of help from Cassie. When I took lessons I felt like I could trust and talk to Cassie very easily. She knows exactly what she's doing in every situation and she never raises her voice. She is fun to be around and ride with. She never just says ok get on go around the arena and there the lesson is over she teaches you how to groom, tack, and the parts of the horses body before you start riding and during. I will always remember and have a special place in my heart for the rest of my life for CEC.~Erin Olson
Erin,
You have been such a huge part of our families lives since we met you. We all are extremely grateful for you and your outgoing personality. Dan and I especially thank you for your dedicated work ethic when you are at the farm. You have a bright future ahead!
Love, Cassie and Dan
Tara & Dually
A friend of mine was searching for a trainer online about 2 years ago and wasn't having much luck.
She then found Complete Equestrian Company. With a lot of conversations back and forth she then decided to take her horse to Cassie for some training. That's where I came in I also decided that my horse Decker could also benefit from some proper training in barrels. Decker had some real issues in his patterns, and myself the rider had a lot to learn also. Both my friend and I kept our horses at Complete Equestrian Company for about 6 weeks and came out for lessons each week also. Cassie did such a great job with both our horses and us. Come to find out most of the problems were us not knowing how to understand our horses. Cassie taught us how to work with our animals and understand how they think and feel. We both couldn't have been more happy and impressed with our experience. That wasn't the last I talked to Cassie. I have since then gone to 2 of her clinics and what I learned was amazing. I have also had many friends take her clinics. They too were very happy with what they and their horses learned. She is such a great trainer and has a real personality that puts you at ease as a student. She really knows her stuff and is willing to share her knowledge. I also have gone to a few of her fun shows and met a lot of great new horse friends. Dan (Cassies husband) has also been great and very willing to help out whenever needed and is also very knowledgeable.I recently acquired a new horse that I am now keeping at Cassies to be trained. I really couldn't think of a better place to bring a horse to, and learn from, than Complete Equestrian Company. I recommend her highly to anyone in any situation. ~Tara Saunders
Tara, What kind words. Dan & I are so happy we have been able to help you with the many horses you have. We love that you keep sending people our way, that we see you at so many of our events and that you are just a great person. Thanks so much and good luck in all you do, Cassie and Dan
