Edwards' Training Stable
Gloria Edwards is pleased to welcome Hennie Leibrandt to her stable as trainer.

Hennie was born and raised on a farm in South Africa where horses were always a big part of this life. As a teenager, he started his career with Saddlebreds, and in 1999 had the opportunity to move to the U.S. In Kentucky, he acquired a wealth of experience working for farms such as Walnut Way, Willowbank, Infinity Stable, and several years at Pleasantview. More opportunity awaited in Georgia where he spent time at Happy Valley.

He has been associated with horses such as Attache'’s Three of a Kind, Brave Heart, Fox De Jour, The Rose Lady, and ponies such as Top of the Mark and Broadway Joe.

Now in Ohio, Hennie brings his talent and experience to our team...

Lonnie Lavery is again bringing his vast knowledge and years of experience to Edward's Training Stable as a consultant and instructor.

Lonnie is well known for his popular Q&A site: 
www.AskTheTrainerOnline.com and he has a huge Facebook following (Look for L.f.Lavery).

Though Jen's purchase of Trixie Chick was announced above, her continued commitment to vet school will afford her sporatic time for riding; therefore, Jen may continue showing Bada until she has time to "get together" with Trixie Chick.
