By Kendra Gale

Kendra Gale knows firsthand the advantages of growing up with horses. Her grandparents brought home their first three Miniature Horses when she was just a year old, and she has been involved with horses ever since. With a diploma in Equine Science and over 16 years working for an equine veterinary practice, Gale is also an Equestrian Canada Certified Driving Instructor. Along with her family, Gale has been raising and showing Miniature Horses for over 30 years, and competes at breed shows and combined driving events. She offers virtual learning experiences through her online classroom at MiniatureHorsemanship.com, as well as local hands-on coaching, giving many private lessons and clinics each year, always with a focus on Miniature Horses. Introducing new people to Miniature Horses is one of Gale’s passions, as well as giving them to tools to care for, train, and enjoy their horses. Gale also has a strong interest in biomechanics and classical dressage, and finds great enjoyment in the process of developing an equine athlete. She lives in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada, on her farm Circle J Miniatures.
