"I started riding at Casey's last winter (2007) with a year under my belt. I started lessons with her and learned in one lesson what it
took me a year to learn at another barn. She is such a great teacher and I am 500 times a better rider than when I first came here. I
have had such a great time learning with her and she has really built up my confidence, and I know I can still learn so much more
from her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone at any riding level."

"Casey Pierce is amazing with all horses in every way, and she continues to amaze me every time I visit the
"tReining" Center. I purchased a coming 3 year old AQHA colt, that was green as the day he was born, and brought
him right to Casey. I am a professional Thoroughbred trainer and have been involved with all breeds of horses my
whole life. I brought my colt to Casey (fall 2008) because I wanted to be the one to sit back and relax, for once, while
my horse was trained. Casey's prices are the best around for the quality time and work she puts into a horse. All I
have to say is.... WOW!!! I am very impressed and will continue to bring horses to her, all breeds and disciplines, for
many years to come."

Casey,
"I am an older woman who was looking for a quiet trail horse. I bought a horse from you early this spring (2008) and he and I just never
got along. I contacted you and you were very helpful in finding me a horse that I feel comfortable with. "Beau" and I have done a lot of
trail riding since I got him and he is an outstanding trail horse. I think he would go anywhere I asked him. I have never had him shy
from anything. He might give something a second look and move away from it but never anything drastic. He's 20 years old and
doesn't act it. He has lots of get up and go! I love him and look forward to many more " Happy Trails". Thanks for hooking me up with
Beau."

Hi Casey,
"Just wanted to drop you line on a "job well done" on our draft gelding "Buster." He was one of the gentle giants, but a stubborn one at
that. Through your techniques and training efforts you made him have respect and learn to "listen," which is a plus on any horse. What
gave us difficulties with, gave you reason to train him and the end result made him a beautiful draft pulling a cart much easier. And
you even showed us that he could be ridden, if the courage was there. You have a great facility that knowingly you can trust. Your
encouragement to come visit, learn and see what is being done with your horse is a big plus. Thank you very much for your time and
effort."

"I started going to Casey's for lessons (spring 2003) on my paint
stallion, QT's Chief Scout, that I had just bought. I was
recommended to her from a friend for some reining training and I
decided to send my stallion to her for training. Scout was bred for
reining and Casey was able to bring out the best in him. I was out
there 4 to 5 times a week watching her ride him. I would get
lessons on him, or ride some of her other horses to learn what to
do better with Scout and feel more comfortable on him with the
maneuvers involved in reining. Scout was sliding easy 20-30 feet
when he got his slide plates on! She got us in the show pen and
we won 1st place in the green reiner class our 2nd time to a show!
I also bought a 4 year old Quarter Horse mare that was in foal
from Casey, and she was an amazing horse and her filly was really
nice. I have learned a lot from watching Casey and riding with her. I
always go to her for advice on any horse problems I have now! I
recommend Casey to anyone who needs help with their horse in
any way. She is amazing with every type of horse and riding.
Thanks again for all the knowledge you have given me over the
years!"

"I decided in the fall of 2006 that I wanted to get back into horses. I hadn't
ridden in 10 years. I knew at 46 that hitting the ground was going to hurt a
lot more than it did at 36. My confidence was very low, but horses had
always been my love as a young girl and I was determined to be that girl
again. I started looking for a place to board, I found Casey. I figured she
was Jim Morgan's daughter and as a young girl I thought he was a Real
Cowboy! How could I go wrong? Right! I was looking for a place to board
my horse, but what I got was much more than I could ever expected from
anyone. It didn't take long for me to figure out that Casey truly cared about
me and my horse. Casey is always going above and beyond the call by
sharing her knowledge with me and teaching. She has made sure that I
was included in trail rides, events and even offered to take me with her when
she took a horse to the vet so I had another chance to learn something new.
Casey always takes the time to explain what she is doing with the horses
and why; again teaching and sharing her knowledge. WOW! She doesn't
have to do that. My confidence is back and my horse is at home right now. I
trail ride by myself all the time. I never thought I would ride by myself for
safety reasons but I now realize I can and I am ready to go to the next level. I
have made a great friend in Casey and her family. I am going back to board
with her this winter (2008-2009). I can only say to those looking for
boarding, lessons, or need your horse trained, etc., look no further. You will
receive much more than you ever dreamed of if you use Casey and her
services. You'll make a great friend too! Thanks Casey for all you do for me
and the Equine Community!"

"I met KC out of desperation. I had entered Craig Cameron's Extreme
Cowboy Race at Equine Affaire 2009. Upon practicing for this event I by
chance ran into KC. She was very helpful in helping me in this event. I
jumped into the fire and she saved me. I thank her so much. I hope to
continue seeking her advice in the future as my time allows. Thanks
again KC!"

"Although I didn't purchase my horse from Casey or take part in her lesson or
clinic programs, she and Ken have made me welcome and both have gone out
of their way to encourage and assist me and my "work in progress," my young
horse, Poco, when we've come to the Ranch Races. We just competed at
Cook's Forest and finished third out of 25, and are looking forward to the fairs.
Casey is a born instructor, encouraging and explaining as needed to get the
job done well."

"Casey's clinics are a very productive, positive way to advance your
horsemanship. There is the right balance of personal attention and practice
time, of constructive criticism and patience, of intense riding and fun
experiences. Casey teaches like she rides: honestly, but with kindness.
Each student's lessons are directed toward his/her own goals, with the size
of the steps toward those goals kept within the comfort zone of the student.
Any question is answered, as many times, and in as many ways as needed
for the student to understand the concept. Thus, not only can the student
work on the issues during the clinic, but is able to return home with a true
understanding so that the improvements may continue. The student leaves
the clinic a better horseman, and the horse leaves as a better horse."

"After being bitten by the “reining bug” while in Arizona over
Christmas last year (2008), my daughter, Kristen, followed up by
taking reining lessons with Casey over the winter. Kristen gained
more experience & confidence and continued turning her interest
into a passion for reining thanks to Casey and her amazing ability
to work with people and horses. Thanks so much for your
influence and mentoring!!"

"Casey has helped me so much with my riding skills and my horse,
Missy, who can have lot of attitude. I've been taking lessons for a
few months now and even sent Missy for some training (June
2009). The change in my horse is amazing!! Casey has also
introduced to me new things to do with my horse, like Ranch Race
obstacles. She really has made it possible for me to enjoy my
horse!!"

"I first found Casey's web site last winter (2009) and was considering sending
my 5 year old AQHA gelding, Dee-C, to get back under saddle after a 2 year lay off
from having only 30 days training, (long story there). I was worrying about the 100
mile distance between where I lived and Casey's until I saw her ride at the Craig
Cameron Extreme Cowboy Race at the Equine Affair in Columbus, OH in April,
2009. I was awed! She is the image of the dream I had 30 years ago for myself!
I wanted to train and ride like she does! That was cut short by an accident I had
that included a head injury from a bad horse I was sold. That, coupled by abuse
from other horse people, caused me to leave the horse world for many years. I
never completely lost my love of horses though. It came back and I got another
horse (Dee-C) and was in need of help getting back in the saddle on a real green
horse. After seeing her ride in the Extreme Cowboy Race, I knew she was the
one who could help me. The 200 mile a week trip over there was a hardship but
it was well worth it!!! My horse is now riding very well and Casey has been
training me also along with my horse. I was left with a fear of getting back on
horses after my accident. My horse is so quiet now I can get on him and relax!!
He knows more than I do now. Casey has been a very big inspiration to me, I
want to learn to ride just like her, so I can get back some of the dream I once had.
I have my horse home now and I will be going back over there to take lessons
from her now. Yep, that darn 200 mile a day drive will be repeated for each
lesson I take and it will be worth every mile! I even bought a horse from Casey,
Rusted Smoke is now mine and he is well trained by Casey, too. I made many
new friends at Casey's and I feel very fortunate that Casey is now my friend and
equine mentor. The barn is very clean, the horses are well cared for, and the
whole crew there made me feel good about myself and very welcome to be there.
I had a great experience and I can't wait for more! My husband, Mike, is going to
take lessons too. He was dead set against lessons until I pushed him into
taking just one from Casey, now he wants more! Thanks Ken and Casey for
being there when I needed you guys the most!! Thanks also to Liz Cadorette too
for a great job showing Dee-C for me in KC's Ultimate Ranch Races and
everywhere else she rode him! Take care and be safe all of you! What a great
time!
