Recent comments from horse owners who have had Twister train their horses:
We sent our horse CJ to Twister Heller in April 2011 for 2 months. She is 4 years old and needed some work. We are pretty new to riding so we wanted her for trail riding. Twister kept us informed on how she was doing and we were able to go and check on her at any time. We brought her home and couldn’t wait to start riding. We took her out and were amazed at how well she responded out on the trials. We have ridden her all summer and she did really well. K. Hernandez
I had heard about Twister for a few years. I checked out articles about him online and I’d seen a friend riding who had just brought his horse back from Twister’s. I talk to others who had sent their horses to twister and they were very pleased. In 2008, I sent my 2yr old colt to be trained for 2 months. Twister did such a good job with Dutch. I had a colt that I could ride on trails all day and be safe. Training around Twisters place made Dutch very sure footed in the rocks. I also attended Twister “People Training” for a week so he could show me everything he had trained Dutch to do, and train me too! That was a huge help! Twister also started and trained my new mare spring 2011. He kept me informed while he trained, invited me to come ride her and checked up on her after we took her home. When I got her home I started going to a couple of Versatility Ranch Horse clinics. People could not believe she was just 3yrs old and just out of 90 days training. She has done really well and thanks to Twister I have a horse that’s great on the trail, around cows, and in the arena. You did it again Twister! Great job G. Spivey
