CLINICIAN/COACH: Rhonda bignell
WORKING AT HANEY'S FEEDLOT
Rhonda grew up riding through the bush and open meadows of the range cattle country around Williams Lake, BC. She spent her teens as a professional horse trainer, a guest ranch horseback guide, and an assistant instructor for a Level III English coach. Over 30+ years this horse enthusiast continued professionally training horses while competing in Open Shows, Dressage, Gymkhanas, Endurance Racing, and Team Cattle Penning at a national level. She constantly strives to update her knowledge and skills, regularly taking clinics from many of the top competitors and clinicians in Canada.
Rhonda became certified as a Equine Canada Western 1 Coach in 2000 and then designated as a Equine Canada Western Competition Coach in 2016. In 2006 she moved to Alberta to work in feedlots, spending more than 100 hours in the saddle per month, checking thousands of cattle each day and treating them for injuries and illness. Rhonda is also a Alberta Equestrian Federation Official General Performance Judge, judging English and Western classes at Open Shows.
Rhonda teaches reining-influenced horsemanship which creates an excellent foundation for a wide range of Western and Open Show competition; as well as for developing a soft, willing and responsive horse for any discipline. She has a very encouraging and natural approach that helps riders gain confidence, balanced riding, and horse-handling skills in a safe and positively supportive setting.
