Cheryl Kazemir Equestrian Training & Sales

Introduction to Myself                                                                                                                                          

I have adored the sport of horses ever since the age of 8 years old. I have traveled and shown on the American “A” circuit (California , Chicago, Boston, Oregon, Montana) and Canadian “A” circuit (Spruce Meadows-Calgary, Vancouver, Saskatchewan, Manitoba).  I continue to try to learn more with clinics and the use of mentors.  I have rode and learned with some of the best (Fred Duke, Cheryl Anderson, Carol/Judi Gorsline, Diane Abey, George Morris, Michel Vaillancourt, John Anderson, Linda Southern, Laura and Brent Balisky, Jay Duke, Whitney Taylor, Dayton Gorsline/Lisa Carlsen,Val Archer, Ron Anderson, Joerg Muenzer).

My success seems to lie in great relationships and ongoing communication with my students/clients, promotion and sales of young horses and sale horses, plus an ongoing goal to pursue the development and further support for young riders in the future.  I enjoy competing myself, and seeing my students succeed.

I look forward to working with you and hope you enjoy my program (many thanks to Zephyr Ridge Stables).
