Profiles
Neal Perry
is a natural horsemanship trainer with roots in Vermont as deep as the
Morgan horses he raises. His training has a unique and effective way of
bringing horses and their people closer. Together with his wife Cheryl
and their two children they operate The Perry Farm where they offer an
array of horse services from training and clinics to lessons in both
english and western riding as well as driving. The farm is a 130 acre
spread with a newly renovated barn and an indoor arena. The Perry family
has called their Brownington farm home since 1924 when Neal's
grandfather Ezekiel bought the property. Since that time the farm has
developed from a diversified livestock and dairy operation to a Morgan
horse and training facility. The calming atmosphere at the farm coupled
with the common sense approach Neal teaches with horses makes The Perry
Farm a great place to take a private clinic for your family or a few
friends. Neal also travels for clinics and demonstrations to other
stables and training centers. The Perry Farm,

Tom Pinkowski hails from western New York. He
first began working a Paint breeding farm imprinting foals. He eventually
moved on to a training barn in his area starting two year olds, “tuning
up” older horses, addressing ground manners, and working with horses that
had developed bad habits.
Now, at
his own boarding and training center, Tom helps people by improving
their relationships with their horse through trust and respect. Tom has
taken the courses and clinics offered by the clinician and author GaWaNi
Pony Boy where he learned Pony’s relationship training methods and added
them to his own horsemanship skills. He is also the 5th
person in the world to become a “Pony Boy Regional Advisor”. Not only is
he the only male advisor in the USA but he is the only regional advisor
presenting Horses Teaching People demos and clinics for the horse owner
interested in learning Pony’s approach. Tom Pinkowski Horse Boarding
