After training under and with many fantastic trainers for the past 20+ years and continuing clinics with some of the best such as Laura Ashley Killian, I have finally gone under my own name. This page is completely updated to show only the horses I personally trained and/or sold, my students, and the shows I put together along the way. For those who do not know my background, I have a strong found

ation in Dressage that was always directed towards Eventing and has helped me greatly in the Jumpers. Recently I have also added some gaming and western pleasure to the mix. I worked and trained primarily with Diane Sulouff learning how to breed and train horses under the German standard, from Cia Reese's Arabians used for endurance, to draft cross stallions needing green broke, before expanding to the hunters under a couple different wonderful bosses/trainers from Lewisburg to Maryland. My next stop and my true love was found as the barn manager/assistant trainer at After the Races where I got to ride with 5* eventer Lisa Ferguson. I have continued rehabbing and working with OTTBs ever since. I then returned to Walnut Hollow Farm where I have been the trainer and assistant instructor for the past three years. Now it is onto bigger and better things that you will all get to see step by step!

For your consideration:
Florida Endeavor 🥰

This approximately 16.2h 6yr old OTTB has 3 lovely gaits, and a naturally low headset. He is a darling and will trust you with his life once he knows you. Stands well for crossties, vet, loves baths, and easy to trailer. He wears front shoes, and is a little buddy sour only when not worked on a normal basis. He is more woah than go, and will make a wonderful hunter, foxhunter, etc for an amateur, kid, or intermediate rider. He is brave and willing to work, just likes his slow collected gaits over running. Absolutely loves kids! No vices or limitations. Schooling 2'3-2'6 consistently. This lovebug enjoys hacking out alone but prefers in a group. He needs his forever person to love him and shower him with attention, and that is exactly what this boy deserves. Florida is being offered at the mid-high 4's right now, price will increase with training. Located in Sunbury, PA, message KL Training with any questions.

Introducing Devoted Kitten!

If you're looking for your next upper level prospect or fun as can be Jumper/Eventer, come check out this 16.3h 8yr old OTTB. No vices or limitations. PPE welcome at buyers expense. This horse is absolutely amazing on and off the farm. Trail rides through absolutely everything alone or in a group, and loves cross country! Schooling 2'6-2'9, free jumping 3'3, courses of 2'3-2'6 so far. I've had multiple riders on him now of different levels, and he is the same gem of a horse with everyone!
Love this gorgeous gelding! He is located in Sunbury PA and is in the firm LOWEST 🖐 figures. Message me for more information or videos.

For your consideration:
Florida Endeavor 🥰

This approximately 16.2h 6yr old OTTB has 3 lovely gaits, and a naturally low headset. Not sure what happened in his past racing career that he is more guarded around people and sensitive to whips, but he is a darling and will trust you with his life once he knows you won't hurt him. Stands well for crossties, vet, loves baths, and easy to trailer. He wears front shoes, and is a little buddy sour only when not worked on a normal basis. He is more woah than go, and will make a wonderful hunter, foxhunter, etc for an amateur, kid, or intermediate rider. He is brave and willing to work, just likes his slow collected gaits over running. Absokutely loves kids! No vices or limitations. This was his first time working in the outdoor and doing a course. Schooling 2'3-2'6 consistently. This lovebug enjoys hacking out alone or in a group. He needs his forever person to love him and shower him with attention, and that is exactly what this boy deserves. Florida is being offered at the highest of 4's right now, price will increase with training. Located in Sunbury, PA, message KL Training with any questions.

Proudly up for your consideration:
Devoted Kitten ❤️

Who is looking for their next upper level Jumper/Eventer? This 8 yr old OTTB gelding has the goods! With three smooth gaits, a winning personality, and a work ethic for the ages! Devoted stands well for crossties, vet, farrier, bathing, etc, easy to trailer, auto changes, and loves to hack out. He is your next superstar and is looking for his forever person to bond with. He does have a motor, way more go than woah, and so much fun! Brave and once he trusts you, absolutely bombproof. He was restarted slowly and correctly. This was his first time working in the outdoor, and his first time doing a full course. We are schooling 2'6-2'9 but for his first course, we kept them low much to his dismay. I have no doubts you will quickly fall in love with his personality, as I have. Come try this gorgeous gelding out in Sunbury, PA. No vices or limitations. Serious inquiries only, low five figures.
Please ignore his rider errors which prove his forgiving attitude, as rider is coming back from a pulled hamstring, and is well aware of less than optimal performance😬

What an exciting work week! Devoted Kitten is having a blast learning to jump, and will make an excellent Jumper or Eventer! Florida had an excellent jump workout, definitely more of a hunter, followed up with a nice roll in his pasture! Then, we have some fun barrels on a Moose, and Melissa on my Lady "Emily's Birthday" looking so nice learning their frame!
Devoted Kitten will be available to try out this month for those looking for their new upper level prospect! Will only be sold to a fantastic forever home 😊

Here at KL Training, we firmly believe groundwork, adequate turnout, and really listening to the horse are the best building blocks to make a horse happy and confident, in order to go in any direction!!
Located at Hooves and Paws, we have all the amenities to train and teach year round! We couldn't be luckier to have such an amazing facility to work at!
After lots of work on the ground, we back our horses and begin their basic dressage training to properly build muscle and balance before we take the horse into their desired discipline.
If you would like to hear more, have any questions, or would like to join our training or lesson programs, please PM or call Krystal at 5709061436

Huge thank you again to our photographer, Mackenzie Kobilis !!

*Available for on-site half lease or on-site full care lease.*
Perfect opportunity for a rider who wants extra saddle time to practice at a beautiful facility with all the amenities!

Like A Rockstar
"Lady" is a 5yr old OTTB with all the correct building blocks in place! She goes english or western. Has done up to
2'3 courses with scope to go higher, trail rides alone or in a group, and loves barrels and poles but needs more work in them to be a serious competitor. Good ground manners, stands for vet, farrier, clipping, easy load for trailering, has show and trail miles. PM me if interested.

*Big shout out to photographer, Mackenzie Kobilis *

Devoted and Florida both did lovely tonight in their workouts! Such smart boys learning their groundwork and manners.
My favorite parts of training these beauties, is putting the building blocks in place for all future careers with excellent lunging, work-in-hand, and ground manners.
So happy to be back to what I absolutely love🥰

One research team found that offering horses a small amount of hay before feeding a meal can reduce the negative effects of rapid starch fermentation.
