What They’re Saying
“I could go on and on about how wonderful Jody Taylor is as a trainer and infinitely wise horse caretaker, but above and beyond that, it has to be mentioned how great he is as a compassionate friend and how he has created a family type atmosphere at Star T Ranch with a fabulous collection of great boarders.
I’m in Colorado now with my two horses, and we’re all pretty happy with the mountains and cooler temperatures, but I know that Star T Ranch is one of the only real regrets we’ll have in leaving Fort Worth, Texas.”
– Wendi
“Jody Taylor did an excellent job of transporting my horses from Tulsa, OK to Louisville, KY. He was on schedule for pickup and delivery, the horses were well cared for and calm and he was most professional in terms of managing the project from initial contact through completion. I highly recommend him to anyone needing horses shipped – and his price was reasonable and very competitive.”
– Daniel
“Professional high quality instructors. Jody has over 30 years experience in natural horsemanship, eventing, dressage, show jumping, basic horsemanship, certified instructors, training coaching for all levels.“
