We are seeing incredible results with our horses! We had our horses for almost a year and finally decided we really didn't know what we were doing and better call the number on that business card we got 7 months ago. Janet answered the call and has been helping us learn and understand our horses as well as train us! With Janet's encouragement, knowledge, and gentleness, our horses have become more compliant and calm which has helped us enjoy them even more. Our top alpha, Oakes has gone from rearing and bucking to wanting to be pleasing and much less afraid of the unknown. Our alpha mare has exchanged her snooty attitude for a sweet, compliant one. We had been trying to put weight on our Thoroughbred for months, but we just weren't making much progress. Janet suggested a different feeding schedule and within a month he has gotten to a much healthier weight and looks gorgeous. When Janet comes over, she observes the way we go about doing things . . . the hard way, and then shows us a much better way for the comfort and safety of our horses as well as ourselves. It has been amazing to see what progress is made every week. We look forward to coming home from work each day to do the "homework" Janet gives us so we can impress her with how great our horses have become! Janet is a funny, kind, honest, helpful, all around lovely person. We are blessed to have her showing us how enjoyable "horsing around" can be!    - Eric and Joni Eitzmann

I enjoyed the lessons that I had with Janet. They were practical. She explains things well, is patient, and has a good rapport with the horses. If there are problems, she looks at the whole horse, not just the training issue. Watch out! Being a former teacher, she assigns "horsey homework", and expects you to complete your assignments. Her "homework assignments" helped me learn the ground work techniques that I needed. I hope to be able to work with Janet in the future.

I love taking riding lessons with Janet because she is really patient with me. And, Prince is very gentle.

I was with Janet and Prince for 1 1/2 yrs., taking lessons and showing. I really enjoyed showing Prince in open shows and in 4-H. I learned multiple things about horse care, safety, riding, and anything else you can learn with a horse. Janet taught me from the ground up, and has basically gotten me to where I am now. I definitely appreciate her horsemanship skills and her talent with horses.
I am the proud owner of a new horse, Pablo. Pablo and I will continue taking lessons with Janet in the spring.

   Before I came to Janet, I didn't know anything about horses. When my best friend, Brittany, introduced Janet to me, I knew that she had a deep love for horses. I knew I wanted to start lessons with her right away. Janet introduced me to Prince, and what a prince he was. He is a beautiful paint horse, with a very curious personality.
   Janet provided me with the very best horse at the barn. She taught me the ground rules of taking care of a horse. She taught me how to turn, stop, and trot. The best time I had with Janet, was when Janet, Ariel and I gave Prince a bath for his show the next day. I love Prince and Janet.

I met Janet in the Spring of 2007. This is my first time owning a horse. I own an old horse named Nugget. I am 100% beginner and have been blessed to have Janet in my life! She has taught me almost everything I know and she is a gift to the “horse world”. Janet teaches you at your level and pace, whether you are an experience horseman or a beginner. Janet creates a bond with you and your horse to expand the relationship you have with yourself and your horse. She is the best I have ever seen for safety and learning what is the best way for you and your horse. She has helped me overcome some extreme fears and increased the trust with me and my horse, Nugget. I would recommend Janet to anyone with a horse at any level. She is a wealth of knowledge for nutrition, training and riding. Janet, Thank you for all the time and energy you have spent with us! I will have Janet as my trainer for as long as she is training!

I met Janet two years ago after some bad experiences. Janet was able teach and coach me back to where I needed to be in order to be safe and have fun. Janet taught me all aspects of horsemanship including basic care, nutrition, riding skills and safety. Janet helped me achieve many of my personal goals and helped me build the confidence to get there. I feel very fortunate to have met Janet, with her reassurance, patience and flexibility, I was able to achieve the goals that we set the first time we met. My experience with having Janet as a trainer/instructor has allowed me to continue my love for horses and explore all aspects of the horse disciplines.

When I met Janet, I loved my horses and thought I knew how to care for them. She evaluated me, my riding, and my horses and helped guide me on better nutrition, health/hoof care and be a better rider. I had a fear of one of my horses and she helped me try to overcome my fears. When we discovered that my fear was valid and that the horse and I were not the "right match", she helped me sell her and buy a wonderful horse that was the right fit. Janet is always available, not only as a teacher, trainer, and mentor but also as a friend. I am lucky to have her as a big part of my "horsey" life.

I have been taking lessons from Cross C Equine Services for about a year and a half. Janet has taught me about horses from the ground up. From how to groom to what to do in the saddle. I have learned so much from her over the year that I have been taking lessons. Janet had Prince when I took lessons but she knew that I had a spark in my eye about horses. So she found the best horse for me. Janet and my mom surprised me on my birthday with my own horse. He was the most perfect horse for me. The most stockiest paint quarter horse ever!!!!! After we bought him Janet taught me the 101 of taking care of your own horse. So me and Snarfy made a very Strong bond working out the kinks in the chain. But I never could of had him without Janet's help. She is such a blessing in my life!!!!!!

Thank you for helping with training Wrigley. I have so much more appreciation for your talent and what you do. Your offer to train for 30 days was unbelievable. I know now how time and patience was the key. You have been wonderful. Your worth more than words. I know I'm not done, but you've given me hope. Thanks.

As a future horse owner, I want to learn the best way to take care of my future horses. Meeting Janet and Prince has been the best way for me to get the right kind of knowledge to do just that. I recently learned that I don't even need a bridle to move Prince!! He is a very smart horse and Janet is an awesome instructor!! I can't wait to learn more!!!
