Audrey Aberle
My name is Audrey Aberle. My passion for horses started at a young age. I think some people are just born with it in their blood. Before I could walk I was trying to gallop and before I could talk I was trying to neigh! Currently I’m a professional farrier and own Stone Haven Horseshoeing. As an adopted child myself, I truly believe every one and every horse deserves a loving, enriching home. As far as training goes I don’t have one specific discipline I focus on but more developing the whole horse. While I’ll always be a western pleasure girl at heart my self trained Arabian gelding went on to be USEF region horse of the year in hunt seat, and I regularly frequent open and schooling shows. My inspiration, aside from a supportive family, has been being able to build a solid horse from the ground up. Starting with the feet! I own "Red" a Missouri Fox Trotter which was ridden by Morgan at Youth Charity. |
Here is Audrey's MFT Red. Shown by Morgan at Youth Charity in 2020

"The horse moved like a dancer, which is not surprising.
A horse is a beautiful animal, but it is perhaps most remarkable
because it moves as if it always hears music." -- Mark Helprin
