Quail Ridge Equine

For Lynette Partridge-Schneider, animals have been more than just a lifetime adventure, her love of animals is a passion. Since, her first horse, Lynette has remained involved in the equine industry. As a teenager, her first apprenticeship was with a Morgan horse trainer learning the English, Western and driving disciplines. The curiosity and willingness to understand other disciplines led her to learn about eventing, reining, hunter under saddle hunter/jumpers, western pleasure, racing, etc. involving the different breeds. Lynette’s knowledge of breeds includes Quarter horses, Arabians, Morgan's, Saddlebreds, Standardbreds, Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, and many others. If horses are involved, Lynette wants to know about it. This continued curiosity and researching of horses and disciplines makes the foundation for a good appraiser as well as a horse show judge. Lynette has gained her judging certification through Purdue Multi-state Judging clinic certified for 4-H and open all-breed horse shows, Illinois Judging clinic certified for 4-H and open all-breed horse shows, North Carolina certified for 4-H and open all-breed horse shows. Lynette has been certified through the states listed below: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Kentucky and the southeast. After being in the human medical field for 20 years, Lynette decided to turn her full attention to animals although having been involved with animals, especially horses and dogs for over 30 years. She became certified as an equine/livestock appraiser, equine sports massage therapist (Graduate of Equissage), equine and canine body work plus numerous modalities including but not limited to Reiki, acupressure, trigger point and behavior problems. She continues to become versed in other modalities in order to better serve animals in their healing processes. It is to be stressed that alternative methods are not necessarily intended to take the place of standard veterinarian medicine. These modalities are intended to compliment standard methods. Lynette is available for seminars and clinics on massage therapy, stretching, and show judging as well as other topics.
