"In researching my books I travel all over the world to
observe the top horse trainers. The masters of this art learn
it only from another master, and Paula Turner studied under some
of the best recognized masters in the world. She has honed the
craft of breaking racehorses to such a fine art that she is truly
a master in her own right. The classical training foundation
and discipline Paula Turner gives teaches a horse to reach underneath
himself and drive forward as powerfully as possible long before
even galloping, something track trainers hope the animal will
figure out when he starts breezing- and then many are injured
in the process. Her horses get such a wide range of experience
that they go to the racetrack as safe animals to ride, far less
likely to get into trouble or hurt than the average racehorse.
She has learned secrets of training that make a horse:
1. Iove to do his work
2. aggressive
3. as self-confident as Mohammed Ali: they literally think,
'I am the greatest.'
These are the traits that enable
a horse to beat others above him in class . . . Paula Turner
is the best in her business." The late Walter Farley, author
of the Black Stallion books
"I am sending you my young
horses not because of
Seattle Slew's record, but because I heard from others,
then saw for myself, the incredibly good behavior he
displayed in the saddling paddock-especially for a
horse of his calibre. I've had horses a long time and
know that the discipline you taught plays a major role
in making these animals honest and keeping them
from hurting themselves." W. Landman, New York
"After considerable research,
we've decided you are
employing the best methods for getting a horse to the
track fit, sound, and very close to running." J. Dundee,
Missouri
"My trainer says these horses
are the best-prepared for the track he's ever seen." M.
Rikenberg, Virginia
"We've got a tough colt they
can't handle on our training center. If you do half as good a
job with him as you did with that crazy filly everyone thought
would never make the races, we'll be mighty happy. Did I tell
you she has won several races now? And the colt you broke last
year is winning allowance races." J. Meeks, Washington,
D.C.
"A proper foundation cannot
be priced-it is invaluable. The recent article in The Blood
Horse about breaking yearlings in Kentucky was a big disappointment
to me. They are ignorant about some aspects of horses up there.
You're giving your horses a classical foundation-all horses and
their owners should be so lucky." D. Barbaria, North
Carolina
