Shari Green had two fantastic rides with clinician Christian Schacht at Westbrooke Farm on December 13 and 14. Dr. Schacht's diverse qualifications as a competitor, inspector, and veterinarian lend him great resources for education. A compassionate clinician that utilizes exercises to help develop each horse's talents. We look forward to riding with him in the future and want to thank Jennifer at Westbrooke again for providing our area with quality educational opportunities.
