Kendra Gale was very lucky to grow up with Miniature Horses, and has spent a lifetime learning all she could to be the best possible steward of the horses in her care. To that end, over the past 15 years she’s made the shift from traditional training methods to training with positive reinforcement, and has been sharing what she’s learned through lessons and clinics, and now primarily through her online classroom, as her ever growing herd of special needs senior horses requires her to stay close to home. Having competed successfully in the breed ring, combined driving, and horse agility, Kendra particularly enjoys trick training, and her mini mule was recently the first mule ever to achieve trick titles through Do More With Your Dog. Her horses can often be found representing their breed at various shows and events, or simply making people smile in parades and senior homes. Kendra loves to help others learn to have more effective communication, and more fun with their Miniature Horses, through her online courses, monthly membership, and her books, including The Big Book of Miniature Horses, Understanding Your Miniature Horse, and her novel, Positively Different, fiction aimed at introducing positive reinforcement training to young readers. Kendra has a diploma in Equine Science and was an Equestrian Canada Certified Driving Instructor. More recently, she has enjoyed branching out into training other species, including teaching tricks to her goats and learning about dog sports with her chihuahua.
