What students are saying:
“Dennis is the epitome of patience and knowledge and was able to share that knowledge in a way that was easy to grasp. - I am also impressed that he continues to learn himself in order to improve his craft and help horses.” - J.B.
"Dennis Cappel brings more than exceptional horse training to the arena. My horses and I had survived a tornado. We arrived filled with fear and confusion. I quickly learned Dennis has many gifts, the ability to read a horse, a true willingness to listen to the owner, asses his or her needs, creating a safe, relaxed, training environment. My confidence returned, my horses became calm and responsive. With a clear mental picture anything is possible- with your horse and in life. Thank you, Dennis!" - Judith Hennessey
"I think everyone that has horses begins a journey whether we realize it or not and hopefully, we are trying to get better with our horses. Dennis Cappel is a horseman’s horseman one word description patience! His shoeing course is no different with a straightforward plan-map to give you the confidence to trim/shoe a horse on your own. I had concerns with the heels in the mapping process and got a phone call from Dennis personally to help clear things up with the assurance that he was there for further assistance. Thank you." - Troy P.
