“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience working with Jeanette Lampe at Menden Equestrian. I sent my weanling filly to Jeanette for foundational handling because she was a bit behind in her development and needed an experienced, patient hand to help her catch up. As a breeder, I am extremely particular about who handles my young horses, and there are very few people I trust to set them up for a successful future. Jeanette exceeded every expectation.
She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and patient, always working at the individual horse’s pace rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. Jeanette’s ability to think creatively and adjust her methods to best support the horse in front of her is something truly special. Her facility is beautiful, impeccably maintained, and offers a peaceful, professional environment for horses to learn and grow.

Jeanette was completely understanding and non-judgmental of my filly’s needs and created a safe space not only for the horse but also for me as an owner. Her communication was excellent, her care was top-tier, and her training approach was exactly what I had hoped for — respectful, thoughtful, and deeply horse-centered.

I would not hesitate to send another horse — whether for early handling or saddle training — to Jeanette. I am so grateful to have found someone I can trust so fully with my horses' futures."
