This clinic was such an inspiration to me to see my very dear friend and former student, Charlie Pinneo, blossom from a dedicated rider and student to a successful trainer and very clever business man in creating his dream of a ranch that he and his family have built together. Charlie was always a serious dedicated student but one of the things I always liked best about him was how he really cared for and truly loved the horses. He worked with Jessie and I for about 3 years when we were in California. I was in awe with all he has accomplished in the 9 years since I have seen him last! He now has a thriving business training horses and students. He found the property on which to build their ranch and along with his parents and in-laws have made it into a perfect facility for him to continue his training with horses and students. He and his beautiful wife Mandy have 2 of the most adorable little girls, Jayden and Kate, with a new baby on the way. To see someone make his vision a reality is such a joy to me and Charlie has done just that!!     Betsy
