Rave Reviews for Springtown

Dear Leon and Alex,

Michael and I want to thank you for the wonderful learning experience you both provided for us this past weekend at your beautiful ranch. Although I eagerly anticipated my clinic with you, I was cautious not to set my expectations too high. I was apprehensive about being new to the cutting industry and having a coach that may not be able to meet my learning needs as an individual. I could not be more satisfied with our experience. Leon was phenomenal in his ability to teach, balancing professionalism, humor, lightheartedness and a lifetime of knowledge. My husband is relatively new to horses in general, but at the end of his first day, he was riding your amazing horses like he had been doing this his whole life!

We were also thrilled to see your horses attitude toward people and their job. It was inspiring to see horses that met you at their stall doors, nickered to you, and didn't pin their ears when people approached. They were truly happy horses that have been taken care of physically and more importantly to me, emotionally. I haven't a second thought about sending my mare to you for training.

Your hospitality was top notch, your home beautiful, and our accommodations were excellent. Our experiences at your ranch exceeded our expectations and provided us with a wealth of knowledge and understanding about all aspects of the sport of cutting. We hope to see you both soon!

~ Sincerely,
Jennifer and Michael Bowman

Dear Alex,

I cannot say enough awesome things about my 2 day experience with Leon. I enrolled in a private clinic and after 20 minutes of seeing how I ride, I was put to work. Being a true beginner not only to riding but to cutting as well Leon's training boosted my self confidence 1,000%. The facility, atmosphere, and patient instruction made this the best get away for my father and me. I can't wait to make the trip from Kansas back to Springtown

Leon and Alex,
Thanks for the wonderful week spent at your new facility in Springtown, Texas. The quality of the grounds, building and pasture/paddock layout is exceeded only by your friendly and gracious hospitality in your new home. I even think that my horse is happier there. Really enjoyed staying in the guest wing of your home. It almost made me feel like family. I look forward to bringing Jacque and friends to your place for instruction in the future.

Hi Alex,
We made it back to AL safe and sound, just bubbling from our trip, and so excited about our very productive "personalized coaching sessions". All of us, appreciate the royal hospitality from you and Leon and your barn staff. The steak dinner at your home was such a very nice way to end our session and we do appreciate you and Leon taking the time to make us feel so special. Cannot overlook your horses - a truly fine group of talented cutting horses to match and challenge any rider's abilility. Gosh, what more can I say.....it was just perfect!!! We learned a lot, now the tough part - put it into practice each time we show, but WE CAN DO THIS AND WE WILL GET BETTER - Leon told us so!

Thanks again,
~ Becky Courson, Becky B., Dora , & Kim
