Ali Kuhn
Daughter Ali Kuhn has returned to Wisconsin, after earning a Bachelor's Degree in Equine Business and interning in Kentucky for 3 years. Ali's niche is producing young horses. She particularly enjoys purchasing horses off the track, retraining them and matching them up with a new owner. She has a great eye for potential event horses who enjoy the thrill of XC. Since coming home in 2018, she has had a major influence on the quality of new horses and owners coming into the facility. Since she is always producing a number of young horses, there is always something among her string of show horses for sale. You can contact her directly to see what she may have available for to come out and ride. Her young horses all compete throughout the show season in events across the Midwest as well as at local venues.
Ali, also, like her mother, is a great instructor. Thorough, knowledgeable, and eager to help horse and rider become a team, Ali also simply gives a fun, yet challenging lesson. Their riders are routinely recognized for their solid foundations in seat and leg use and are particularly functional riders able to confidently produce an elegant dressage ride and an accurate cross country ride.
It’s a family affair…
