“This program uses techniques and concepts that will work for everyone,” Knudsen says.
Knudsen has trained and shown 13 APHA and AQHA horses to their championships, and most recently helped train the 2007 APHA World Reserve Junior Reining Champion. He has trained horses that have won titles in Open, Amateur, and Youth divisions at World competitions. His horses have also won NRHA Futurities and Derby competitions as well as open NRHA money divisions.
