Gudrun Hehl - Instructor
Though born and raised in Germany, Gudrun has made the United States her home for the last 3 decades. She spent her first 10 years in Texas, where she was immediately drawn to the Western heritage and hospitality of this big, beautiful state. "You can't claim to be a Texan until you have sat on the back of a horse", friends told her and this let to her first attempt at horseback riding, followed quickly by the realization that riding is not like any sport she had experienced. For Gudrun, riding is more than acquiring skills and improving on them. It is "entering into a partnership with your horse every time you climb on its back".
For the past seven years Gudrun has enjoyed teaching the beginner classes and getting new students started on their horseback riding journey. Watching her students gain confidence in themselves and their horse, give respect and earn the trust of the remarkable creature, is her greatest reward.
