What a difference boarding him at Chinook Winds made!

Horses here have shiny coats and bright eyes

I brought my off the track thoroughbred, Gandalf, to Chinook Winds Equestrian in December of 2014. At the time, he was 700 lbs underweight, lame, and had a pretty sketchy history of abuse from the track, the chuck wagons and some owners in between. He was, essentially, not safe. At that point, I had also been in an accident with him and had ended up with a few broken ribs and a collapsed lung, so I had my own fear issues to overcome. At the time I brought him to CWE, my plan was to get him healthy and trained to a point where I could sell him to a more experienced rider so he didn’t end up back where I got him from – the meat truck.

Fast forward a year later and he is healthy, sound, and a wonderful ride. Tina and her team have gotten him to a point where he is predictable and safe to ride. Tina and her team also helped me to overcome my own fear issues that arose after my accident, and now I can’t imagine selling my Mooseface. I can’t say enough great things about CWE – Tina has extensive knowledge in equine nutrition, as well as a strong training philosophy, and me and my Gandalf would not be where we are today without the program Tina put us both on. The icing on the cake is an awesome team of peers who are friendly, kind and caring. I love this barn.
