For Lynette Partridge-Schneider, animals have been more than just a lifetime adventure, her
love of animals is a passion. Since, her first horse, Lynette has remained involved in the equine
industry. As a teenager, her first apprenticeship was with a Morgan horse trainer learning the
English, Western and driving disciplines. The curiosity and willingness to understand other
disciplines led her to learn about eventing, reining, hunter under saddle hunter/jumpers, western
pleasure, racing, etc. involving the different breeds. Lynette’s knowledge of breeds includes
Quarter horses, Arabians, Morgan's, Saddlebreds, Standardbreds, Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods,
and many other equine breeds. If horses are involved, Lynette wants to know about it. This
continued curiosity and researching of horses and disciplines makes the foundation for an
equine/livestock appraiser, as well as a horse show judge and equine professional. |
Lynette is a certified equine appraiser and lifetime member
of American Society of Equine Appraisers.
- Lynette is licensed to judge with the following horse breed organizations and clubs:

After being in the human medical field for 20 years, Lynette decided to turn her full attention
to animals although having been involved with animals, especially horses and dogs for over 30
years. She became certified as an equine/livestock appraiser, equine sports massage therapist
(Graduate of Equissage), equine and canine body work plus numerous modalities including but
not limited to Reiki, acupressure, trigger point and behavior problems. She continues to become
versed in other modalities in order to better serve animals in their healing processes. It is to
be stressed that alternative methods are not necessarily intended to take the place of standard
veterinarian medicine. These modalities are intended to compliment standard methods.

Lynette is very comfortable with horses
and relates to them easily. I learned so much from Lynette
she is confident in her abilities and she makes learning
fun. Lynette bonds quickly with the horses she is working
on. They trust her and she makes them feel at ease. I
looked forward to working with Lynette each week. She
is a good teacher and answered any question I had. She
was always available and made extra time for me until
I felt confident enough to work by myself. My initial
schooling was different than Lynette's method. After observing
Lynette's technique, I was able to combine the two as
well as adding my own unique touch. Lynette always encouraged
me to make equine massage personal and develop a style
that is my own. Lynette gave me the space and encouragement
to find my technique and figure out what was right for
me. Lynette is passionate about horses and genuinely cares
for their well being.
