ABOUT DEBBIE:
Debbie Garfield has over 38 years experience as the premier gaited horse trainer in Colorado. She will bring her background in training, showing, and promoting of the gaited horses to help you get the best gait out of your horse.
Debbie started with Tennessee Walkers by going to a clinic with Joe Webb back in the early 70's in Arkansas. Then she worked with the Starwood Ranch in Aspen. Garfield trained many 2 and 3 yr. olds that were part of this study. They had close to 30 mares and 4 or 5 stallions. Garfield trained for them for almost 3 years and then they moved the study to Utah. She has been in business for herself most of 38 years. Garfield has been to numerous clinics herself for TWH's and learned the gaits of the other breeds from the breed associations and shows. She has shown TWH's since 1970, and many of the other gaited breeds shortly after that.
Garfield did work for a padded barn 1 year to find out for herself if in fact that you can train them without causing them pain. She did not like any part of that type of training, and have since then only trained pleasure horses for show, trail, driving, and versatility. Garfield has trained several Supreme Versatility Champions, has done clinics in Canada and the US. She has shown at the International in Tennessee 4 times, had horses place high in most classes. A 2 yr old from the farm that she trained for in Palisade, Co. won the 2 yr old Class at the International.
Debbie has devoted her life to training gaited horses without gimmicks or devices. These horses are her passion. She served on the THWBEA Board of Directors for a total of nine years. Gaited horses have gained popularity with the mid-aged trail riders that want to move out and ride without the bounce of the trot. Many people that are recovering from back and knee surgeries are often turning to a smooth gaited horse.
