Samantha Kelley, November 08 - July 09 Full Time Intern, Pennsylvania~~"I am truly blessed to have been given the opportunity to intern at Cornerstone Horsemanship with Charles and Michele.  They are an amazing couple, and have most definitely surpassed my expectations I had before coming there.  Both of them are extremely gifted with horses and truly dedicated to what they do.  They have brought my horsemanship to a whole other level through their easy to follow and effective teaching skills and incredible wealth of knowledge.  I truly believe you could work with those two everyday and always end up learning something new.  They never failed to make it feel like home and have given me many unforgettable memories.    Charles and Michele have both been wonderful mentors and friends; my stay with them was an incredible experience.  I could never thank them enough for all they have done  for me."

Samantha went with us to the ARHA World Show in 2009, and claimed the World Champion Youth Ranch Cutting title on Playlena Peppy, a horse trained by Cornerstone!
