Charles and Michele Pellham established Cornerstone Horsemanship with the goals of giving young horses a solid start under saddle, teaching horsemanship to riders of all disciplines, and incorporating horsemanship methods into the show world.

With over 35 years combined experience, Charles and Michele have the depth of knowledge needed for training horses and teaching people.  Horses and students that have gone through the Cornerstone Program have won many local, state, and national championships in events including hunter/jumpers, dressage, reining, cutting, western pleasure, and working ranch horse.

Charles is one of the premier trainers on the East Coast, with a gift for starting colts and working with problem horses.  He has a natural ability to teach people, and is an outstanding clinician.  His accomplishments include 2010 American Ranch Horse Association World Champion Senior Cutting and World Champion Ranch Roping, the 2007 ARHA World Champion Working Ranch Horse, and 2006 Open Cutting World Champion, and the 2006 ARHA Junior Ranch Trail World Champion.

Michele exhibits versatility in a trainer.  She trains and shows cutting horses, as well as dressage and barrel racing, puts the finishing touches on young horses, and has a gift for working with young or inexperienced riders.  Her accomplishments include the 2006 American Ranch Horse Association Open Cutting Reserve World Champion and Senior Ranch Trail Reserve Champion, both on the stallion, Heza Classy Chic.
