Incredibly lucky to host this fabulous instructor. Big thanks to Patrick King for putting this on. The information Charles de Kunffy provides is beneficial to ANY rider. Looking forward to having him back in the fall.

Monika Schnacke choked back tears as she talked about her rides at the Charles de Kunffy clinic held April 22-24 at Mane Gait Equestrian Center in Natural Bridge, Virginia. “I’m still in total awe,” said Schnacke, 57, Charlotte, North Carolina...

We are saddened to lose such an incredible horse but what a privledge it was to take care of him in his golden years. Zero dark thirty, barn name Mack, served as an Army caisson horse. He helped lay Ronald Reagan to rest, participated in George Bush as well as Barack Obamas inauguration, and laid many heroes to rest at Arlington National Cemetary. He was such a presence to be near. He loved to love and be loved. He survived two colic surgeries and had the best parents you could ask for. We had been helping to keep him going for sometime, and today he let his owners know it was time. It was an honor to be there for him and Kate and help him make his earthly transition with peace, and diginity. The flag is at half mast for you sweet Mack! I know you are running free. Thank you for your service, and the love!
