Trainers

Hi Carl,

I’m in Maine as well. Not sure your objectives but: Peter Hagerty, Porter, will sometimes work with others horses at his place. John Plowden, Stowe, will travel and sometimes host for training days. Tracey Wilkerson, Bethel, will travel to train I think. You likely know them from MOFGA.

Neal and Rebecca Perry came to my place from VT this past spring to help me team some horses in a 1 1/2 day clinic format. I enjoyed working with them very much, and had a chance to see them work with a single Belgian mare and a team of Percheron mares too. They’d bring great experience and versatility to any horse/application. John Plowden helped me with some of the follow-on work for one horse.

Chris Lombard is a Mainer; a natural horsemanship type. He’s worked with a previous team of Suffolks I had, again during a clinic on my farm. Great guy, lots of applicable experience.

Scott Monroe, Cumberland, is a Combined Driving competitor and trainer. He’s been on our farm for a veterans driving clinic, and I plan to work with him this winter.

Happy to try and help more on the in-Maine side of things. So many really special training resources via DAP, but sometimes distant.

Good luck,
Nick
