Karen Wall and She’s a Fancy Hunter

Karen has been a friend of J/S Training for many years. She is married to Brian Wall and they reside in Aurora, NE. They also have daughters, Lexi and Justa as well as a son, Dwayne, that keeps them busy with all of his sports activites and she still finds time to make it out to the barn. Karen
showed Non pro events with Jim and then took a little break. She came back more determined then ever and is a joy to teach! Watching her win the Huntseat Equitation at the 2010 World Championship show on “Charlotte” was a big highlight of our World Show.
She works hard, follows instructions very well, and is a very dedicated Nonpro.
We appreciate you very much, Karen!
Good Luck in 2011!

A note to from Karen:  "Jim and Sandy, thank you for your friendship and support.  It means a lot to me.  Thank you for helping me find the right horse to reach my potential!  Kelly, thank you for all of your work with me and Charlotte and your friendship.  We've come a long way since the day I bought her.  I've learned a lot.  To all of you,  I wouldn't have been able to accomplish all I have without you.  You make all the hard work worth it!"
