Amateurs

Increasingly, owners like to show their own horses in Amateur to Handle classes. Fernando Poli can teach you how to enter the arena with your horse to best show its movement, how to stand up your horse, how to present its best features.

Just ask Megan Lustig, whose three-year-old mare Grace of Sinan won a Championship, two Reserve Championships, and Top Tens at the 2008 Egyptian Event after training and conditioning at Victory Equine Centre. Megan showed Grace to a Reserve Championship in Amateur Halter after working with Fernando. A few weeks later, Megan took Grace to Region 11 Reserve Champion in AATH Mares 2 Years and Older.

"My thanks to Fernando Poli and Victory Equine Centre. Fernando did a wonderful job with Grace and my daughter learned a lot from him. He is always easy to contact and did a great job in keeping us informed on Grace's progress. This means a lot to an owner! I will not hesitate to send any of my horses to Fernando. Congrats on your win with Gracie!"
