TESTIMONIALS
"I would highly recommend CM Performance Horses, I took my horse Skittles to be put on the barrel pattern. Chyenne was so pleasant to work with. My horse had a great stall and pen to be in during her stay there. About a week in, Chyenne called me and said something feels off. She didn't want to go any further with her of any chance she may make whatever was bothering her more sore. I was beyond shocked to hear this news, but was so glad Chyenne noticed the signs instead of hurting her more and pushing her too far to make the condition worse. A real trainer cares about the horse and not the income. My mare indeed had issues with her hock and was diagnosed navicular after listening to Chyenne's concerns. If you want a trainer that is honest and loyal to you and your horse, Chyenne is your lady!" - Nicole R.

"During the 2021 season, I had reached out to Chyenne about tuning up my barrel mare, Cookie. I can count on one hand the number of people I've let even sit on her, so deciding to send her off for 30 days was a well thought out decision. I watched numerous trainers close and far to study how they are with their hands and cues, their methods, and overall care of client horses as well as personal horses. Chyenne's horsemanship matched exactly what I strive for and look for in others. When Cookie went to Chyenne, she would occasionally hit the middle of the 2D, but was more consistent in the 3D. After just 30 days, Chyenne had Cookie working so well off her hind end while still maintaining her individual style as a runner. My biggest concern was someone trying to force a bendy style on a horse that has a stiff style. The first run I made after getting Cookie back landed us 2nd in the 2D! With Chyenne's help, we ended the year 4th in the 2D at State NBHA. She has been so helpful with getting Cookie working correctly and giving me advice as a rider. " - Lily K.

"I rode Dunkin tonight and he did well! I'm very impressed with how he came out given the hardships/frustrations he gave you. I just wanted to say I seriously appreciate you and all the hard work and talent you have! Thank you so much I appreciate it. I'm excited to start this journey with him. I've been looking for a replacement from my horse Maverick! If it wasn't for you I'd probably still be looking!" - Shannon L.
