Hi Kenda,
Still have a big ol grin on my face this
morning. Friday night was fun. I just want you
to know how happy I am we decided to have to you
train Bizi, Houdini, David and me. You gave us
more than the basics and inspired us to continue
and it has paid off. We will continue to work
hard to improve. Thank you for your continued
support. I wish you the greatest success in your
career. I can’t think of anyone that deserves it
more. Just remember that whatever obstacle you
have to deal with, you have the talent and the
strength to overcome and prevail. Not to mention
all your friends and supporters that stand
behind you. On the way home David said he wished
it would have been different on that last go,
but the most important thing to him was
Houdini’s performance.
Love you the most,
Suzanne |
Hi Kenda,
Thanks again for giving Betty (and me) a bit of
training this past weekend in Moses Lake. It
never ceases to amaze me that someone as famous
and busy as you are, takes the time to help out
a novice like me, but then that's why you are so
great and wonderful. I really do appreciate
it!!!!!!!!!The best of luck in Texas. I hope
you and Justin win it all. I'll be keeping tabs
on you all via computer.
Take care and Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Kenda-
We
want to thank you again for our
wonderful trip to Arizona!! We had so much fun and
learned so much about the whole sport, mounted
shooting. What a blast. We will definitely do it
again with you. Thanks again for the
wonderful experience. I loved it!

Hi Kenda,
Hope all is well with you and the rest of the gang
in Arizona. We have to thank you again,
we are achieving our goals much quicker than
anticipated.
I actually saw fear in the eyes of local club
members after a smoking 17 second run on the stage
you always make us
practice; Two gates, one on either side of the
rundown. When we watched them set that up,
we just smiled. We knew something the rest of
those people didn’t, we had been to the KL boot camp! We opened up a can o whoop ass. Those
folks just sat there on their horses with mouths
wide open, thinking "where did these two come from".
We have not seen or talked to many of
these people since you got our horse back in
December. Today’s goal was to be good students
and a great advertisement for you. Trust me
when say we earned gold stars today. THANKS A MILLION!
Hope to get back out to AZ. soon before you head
north.
Huge thanks
O.T.

like no other horse trainer I've ever met and she truly
loves her job. Our horse, Snoot, just floats thru the
patterns with ease. Thanks, Kenda!"

Hi Kenda,
Thank you so much for all the time and training you have
put into Bizi. I know it is your job but, you have no
idea how happy I am with the progress I see. It would
have taken me years to do what you have done in a few
months. Although I miss my boy, it was worth it just
watching the videos to see how far he has come. I have
no more excuses now that I have a shooting horse! See
you in March.

Dear Kenda,
I wanted to thank you for the clinic I attended
down in Olympia this last Saturday.
I now know what guns & holsters to buy thanks to
you! And I feel like I can go out and do this
with out looking like a total fool. You gave me
the confidence to want to compete at the shoot
in Cashmere next month. Thank you again for you
time and expertise, it was greatly appreciated!

Good
evening Kenda,
I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your
knowledge on mounted shooting with me. I left for North
Carolina to shoot on sat. and sun. I did not
have much time to practice what you taught me
but I think it sank in cause I won the grand
American on sat. and got a win toward a move up.
Everyone was complementing me on my turns and
shooting. Little did they know that I had just
been taught by the best!!!! I will be able to
practice more this week before the Delaware
shoot.
Thanks again, Ron
P.S. one more win to level five.

Good morning Kenda,
Just an update. Your methods and tips are
working great, I am so glad you shared them with
me. I was at a shoot in North Carolina this
weekend and although I didn't do great on sat.(
I missed two ) I shot clean and we were fast on
Sunday at the Grand American and moved up to a
level five!!!!! THANK YOU KENDA!!!! If I do my
job like you showed me everything works great.
See you at Easterns, Ron

Hi Kenda,
Thanks so much again for
helping us out last Friday, it's going soo well
with Chance this week. Your the greatest and
he's a pretty fine little horse. I think we'll
do ok this weekend. We have our goals all set
out and I repeat them each time prior to doing a
run.
We're so proud of you
for making a name for yourself as a respected
tough woman competitor! I don't know
anyone who works harder than you do and deserve
it as much.

Hi K,
I hope this summer is treating you well, and the
roads you are traveling are fun and hassle
free. THANK YOU again for all your help earlier
this year in AZ. I remember the clinic you put
together, where you asked all of us to right
down are goals. I wrote down what I thought
would be some pretty lofty goals. ( To qualify
for and win men’s div 1 at worlds ) As I
recount my last match, winning a Grand American
Overall against a full class of men’s div 4’s. I
realize my previous goals will need to be
modified. Tell Justin to keep an eye out, my
horse is bringing some heat ! ( I’ll give you
a few minutes to stop laughing )
All joking aside, many people ask who, how,
where, did I come from? I can’t help to grin
proudly and say your name. Sometimes I feel as
though that I have somehow cheated the Mounted
Shooting Gods by training with you, however the
wins feel pretty damn good. Sorry Gods!
THANKS AGAIN
O.T.

Hi Kenda,
Hope you are having a successful summer.
Just wanted to say "Thank you" for such a great
beginners clinic. We really enjoyed it and we
learned a lot. We hope to do more in the
future. We are trying to budget to buy some
real guns, but in the meantime we have been
practicing at home with cap guns and working
with our horses.
Thanks,
Mark & Frodo |
Hi Kenda,
I just wanted to shoot you a quick e-mail and
tell you thanks again for taking the time to
show me some useful exercises for me and my
horses. It was very much appreciated.
Hope to see you soon!

Hey Kenda,
Thank you so much for all the time you've spent
with us. It was a pleasure to get to know you,
and we look forward to visiting again sometime.
Soon I'm going to get to put to use all the
valuable things you taught in your clinic. I
know I have work to do, but you've given me much
to work toward.

| Hi
Kenda,
I wanted to let you
know how much I enjoyed the clinic you gave in
Tennessee just before the Easterns. It really
is making a difference by making me realize how
I have to not only analyze how to run a pattern
but I also must prepare myself mentally to prior
to getting into the pen.
I really appreciate
the drills that you had us do. I am
incorporating them in my practices at home. I
just wish we had had more time. If the
opportunity exists for me to go to another Kenda
clinic I will certainly take advantage. Please
keep me in mind in the future if you do any
future clinics.
Again, I enjoyed it
and thanks for putting it on.

Kenda,
Thank you for keeping in touch. We had a good
time at the clinic. I felt that I learned alot.
We were at the state shoot this last weekend.
I came in 6th overall. I won my class, and could
have won the match. but..... I missed 2 on each
of the 2 first stages. I helped range master
those 2 stages and did so until I shot. I was
not able to do my mental program like I should
have and felt that was part of the problem.
After those 2 stages, I no longer helped, ran my
program and shot clean. I had the 3rd fastest
raw time against some tough level 4's and 5's.
So I am very happy, and looking forward to
Amarillo.
Jill, well she is working her plan for new
boots....
See you in a few weeks.

Hi. We both had a great time today! We are so
excited and had so much fun. I can't wait to
come back over and ride her again.
Unfortunately, I can see the hand writing on
the wall and I think Chad and I will be fighting
over who gets to ride her.
Your doing great with her and we appreciate all
of your hard work! Talk to you soon. Thanks.

Kenda,
I really enjoyed your clinic. It was
really an eye opener. I did not know how
much I did not know! For example: I
never could under stand what the big
deal was about changing a lead. I could
never under stand why some one would
want to do it on the fly! Well, now that
I know it applies to the horses feet it
makes more sense! Ha,ha. Just joking!
Seriously, I never new how to make a
horse change his lead, I just thought
they always did that automatically. I
never even ever discussed that with any
one before.
I could not believe the thing about
slipping my Thumb off of he pistols
hammer. What a difference! I have been
practicing always 'looking ahead' in
just my normal riding and I think my
horses know it as 'they' seem to be
loping smoother. If your clinic would
have been twice the money, it would have
still be worth more than that! With all
the investment just to get to the point
of being 'equipped' to do the shooting,
why not pay for the training to make it
worth while with out having to re-invent
the wheel.
Everything you 'said' and 'did' and
'showed' me (even if I could not do it
yet) was a revelation to me! Thanks so
much for putting on your clinic.
Well take care Kenda,
I'll keep watching for you to break more
records and rocking the Mounted Shooting
World and seeing you beautiful face in
the Rundown and Shooting Horses Mags.!
.........and maybe the Silver Screen! :
)))
Your humble admirer and biggest fan,
Sid : )

Hi Kenda:
I just wanted to tell you Thanks a
million for such a great clinic!!! I
had a super time and learned a great
deal!!! Thomas is doing well, we
practice shooting a couple times a week,
using some of the drills you showed us.
He still flips his head a little but is
doing better:) Thanks again!!!
Thanks again and have a great day!!!
