I thought I would personally introduce myself. I’m Zach Vandergriff. My grandparents are Bob and Julie Olson founders of Olson Carriage and Harness I’ve waited some time to post this simply because the whole reason for the start of this page is because my Grandpa Bob Olson was diagnosed with cancer. He passed away just over a year ago. He left his life’s legacy with the horses for me to continue on. Which is a huge void to try and fill. It’s tough and seemingly impossible to measure up to your hero, and for the first time in my life, do all of this without him. It’s been kinda hard to put to words who I was taught by and where I come from. I’ve attached an article from a former student to help with that. She does a good job of describing the man I spent my life with working and training horses.

Ground work lessons have been pretty popular the last few weeks. A good ground work foundation is a must for confidence in your horses and your horses confidence in you. A great way to provided leadership to you horses with pressure and release. If your horses seems to watchy or reactive and you would like to work on it shoot me a message. God Bless. Zach
