A valuable lesson John taught me was to open your mind and learn from others.

Currently, my equine certification program is the only one certified in the state of Virginia where you receive a diploma upon completion and graduation.

Cedar Run Ranch offers countless amenities to those attending clinics at the ranch. Located on 117 acres of rolling hills in Cumberland, Virginia the ranch offers a barn with stalls, a 100’ x 200’ indoor ring, a 200’ x 300’ outdoor ring, cabins or campers available for rental or bring your own camper. Water, sewer, electric hookups and a bath house are also available. Miles of trails surround the ranch but if trail riding is your passion as it is mine, we are within a short drive to the beautiful Shenandoah National Park or James River State Park.

We generally only breed one or two Sarplaninac litters per year. If you are interested in purchasing a pup from us, please visit our website to learn more: www.grazerie.com

Training with Trust ...

Experience, education, client needs and a revamping of my training exercises allowing for a solid understanding of a firm training foundation, has led me to evolve the programs I now offer at my ranch and in clinics and expos across the country. Tailored after John’s programs, much of my training involves 3 and 5 day clinics either at the ranch or on the road, three week apprenticeships and the yearlong Training with Trust certification program.

Currently, my equine certification program is the only one certified in the state of Virginia where you receive a diploma upon completion and graduation. Experience has taught me to get optimal results for my students it’s best to limit my class size to ten participants. However, over the years’ client needs have been instrumental in determining many of the week long special events that are currently being taught at the ranch. These include our “LOL” Learning for Older Ladies Clinic (available only to ladies 45 and older), Teen Week (open to girls 14-17 years old), Horse and Rider Training Vacation and Client Appreciation Weekend (open only to past and present clients).

Whether you aspire to compete or just pleasure ride your goal should always be to establish a partnership based on respect and trust to produce a willing partner you can count on.
